Acoustic Camera Convergence Instruments ACAM_64

Description

ACAM_64 is an 8×8 microphone array, and real-time beamformer. It can build a 32×32 pixel image of sound sources in real-time, with adjustable frequency response within 20 Hz to 8 kHz.

Its massively parallel beamforming DSP allows the instrument to build each pixel concurrently with no missed sample.

The instrument can be controlled, and the images can be retrieved using an open protocol based on virtual Com port. That open protocol can be used on any platform that has a generic USB CDC driver. That includes Windows, Linux and Mac-OS.

Features

- 32×32 real-time image of the acoustic environment, displayed as a thermal map.
- Ready to run application provided for Windows.
- The beamformer can capture the audio signal at any specific direction within the field of view of the camera
- Using the provided application, the audio capture can track the source direction, following the source as it moves within the field of view of the camera.
- Frequency response can be adjusted by defining lower and upper frequency limits.
- Adjustable field of view: 60 deg or 90 deg.
- Adjustable image persistence from 10ms to 10s
- Massively parallel real-time all-digital design. Can build every pixel of the image from every sample captured by every microphone in the array.
- Open communication protocol allows application design by OEMs
