Texas Instrument Digital Micro-mirror Device (DMD) Development Kit

Requirements for TI DMD Development Kit The Air Force Research Laboratory requires a Texas Instruments (TI) Digital Micro-mirror Device (DMD) Development Kit to enable in-house research of compressive sensing techniques. The TI DMD is essentially a binary spatial light modulator - a key hardware component of the compressive sensing/imaging architecture. Additional details describing this requirement are provided below: - The development kit must include a circuit board hosting an XGA TI DMD (1024x768 mirrors), along with all associated support electronics and software required to power, drive, and command the TI DMD. - The micro-mirrors must support operation over the visible region of the spectrum. - The DMD driver and control software must be compatible with a PC running either Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista, 7) or Linux. MS Windows is preferred. - The development kit must allow control of the (on/off) state of every mirror in the array. - The circuit board hosting the DMD will be installed on an optical table. Therefore, a mounting bracket for the host board supporting standard English threads is preferred.
