The NI CVS-1458RT is a compact and rugged machine vision system that withstands the harsh environments common in vision-guided robotics, industrial inspection, and OEM vision applications. 
This system uses GigE Vision with Power over Ethernet technology to connect with off-the-shelf cameras to give you a wide range of functionality, perbance, and price. In addition, you can connect two cameras (or more using switches) to one compact vision system for multicamera inspections to significantly lower the price of your deployed system. 
The NI CVS-1458RT offers unprecedented FPGA-based I/O capabilities and network connectivity for distributed machine vision applications. The advanced features include the ability to synchronize your inspection results with industrial I/O and configure hardware-timed network triggers to trigger camera acquisition. Use the advanced FPGA personality that is shipped with the system or customize the FPGA functionality using LabVIEW FPGA. 
The NI Linux Real-Time OS gives developers access to the Linux community’s massive software ecosystem. The new bded user interface capability of NI Linux Real-Time enables the implementation of a local human machine interface to simplify your application development. 
To program the NI CVS-1458RT, you can configure your machine vision application quickly with Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (AI) or program your application with the LabVIEW Real-Time Vision Development Bundle. Vision Builder AI is an easy-to-use stand-alone programming environment for creating full visual inspection applications. If you prefer a more customized solution, you can program the NI CVS-1458RT with LabVIEW software and the LabVIEW Real-Time Vision Development Bundle, which includes the three modules you need for programming LabVIEW vision applications on real-time targets: the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, LabVIEW Application Builder, and Vision Development Module.
