Products - Novus Labs

In addition to design and development services, Novus Labs engineers have developed test fixtures, software and analytics to support customers’ QA and validation efforts, as well as IOT reference designs to accelerate time to market. These systems are highly customizable to meet specific project needs and can be purchased or execution can be outsourced to our expert teams.

Custom Test Tools

Audio / Video Analysis Suite

Novus Labs has developed an Audio and Video Analysis Suite designed to accommodate rapidly expanding A/V technologies. The Novus Labs A/V Suite is an efficient and accurate solution, taking a frame-by-frame and end-to-end approach to test and measurement that is agnostic to the underlying technology used for content delivery. Combining cutting edge analytics, powerful processing capabilities, and flexible test configurations, the Novus Labs AV Suite Core System provides the right mix of performance and versatility. The AV Suite Core System features robust connectivity for hardware peripherals along with 3.8 TB of high-speed storage. The Core Software package provides an intuitive GUI for configuring, queueing and executing tests, as well as a comprehensive API for scripting applications and integration into automation frameworks.

Ambient Light Simulation Chamber

The “Ambient Light Chamber” uses thousands of ultra-bright white LEDs, allowing a multi-directional wash of light over a device under test, and can be expanded to include near infrared wavelengths. Allows for testing the practical range of intensities reportable by embedded ambient light sensors common in consumer electronics.

Ambient Light Simulation Chamber

ALSC-21-M-15
The ALSC-21-M-15 Ambient Light Chamber is a test apparatus with thousands of ultra-bright white LEDs, allowing a multi-directional wash of light over a device under test. The system can be expanded to include near infrared wavelengths. The chamber is interfaced with a host system via Ethernet. Light can be varied from very dim (5-10 lux) to daylight (80,000 lux). This allows testing the practical range of intensities reportable by embedded ambient light sensors in common consumer electronics.

Features
• LEDs on all internal walls
• 12-bit (4096) intensity steps per channel
• Up to 80,000 lux
• Color temperature range 5000-5650K
• Built-in near infrared options available
• Built-in optical diffuser evens spread of light
• Each wall is individually assembled and contains addressable subsets
• Ethernet interface
• C/C++ libraries for full automation
• Much smaller and lighter than ALSC-21-6-40
• Optional filter accessory allows modification of color and color temperature

Dimensions:
Outer – L 20.3″ × W 20.3″ × H 24.7″
Inner – L 16″ × W 16″ × H 16″

Weight: 65 lbs
