|
The TINE* control system evolved in great part to meet the needs of controlling a large accelerator the size of HERA, where not only the size of the machine was a determining criterion, but also the seamless integration of different platforms and programming languages of the many applications developers. In keeping pace with new technologies and the new generation of accelerators such as PETRA3, FLASH, PITZ and associated pre-accelerators and beamlines, TINE has undergone a major “face-lift” in its most recent version, 4.0.1, where platforms such as Java and LabView are not only supported, but emphasized. In addition, TINE Release 4 integrates the video subsystem, the device layer, and central services to a much greater extent than its predecessor. We report here on many of the new features and how they are currently being used in operations.

| TUY04 | TINE Video System – A Modular, Well-defined, Component-based and Interoperable TV System Undergoing a Redesign | 64 |

In recent years, the usage of TV systems and optical readout at accelerator facilities has constantly been increasing. At the same time, the pace of vendor upgrades of industrial vision hardware has hardly slackened. Because image readout hardware is required to meet special criteria in accelerator physics, vastly different hardware systems are frequently used side by side. Given such circumstances it is not surprising that the imaging software needs to be changed, adapted and updated on a semi-permanent basis. Current TV systems cannot cope very well with rapid software and hardware changes. To improve this, a redesign of the current TINE Video System*, initiated at PITZ, was undertaken. Efforts are focused on an abstract, modular grabbing interface, dedicated software components, a well-defined Video Transport Layer and use of standard file formats where possible. This paper will show current, planned and possible software architectures as well as hardware support and outlines perspectives for near and far future. Although the current implementation is integrated into TINE control system, it is modular enough so that integration into other control systems can be considered.
