Beam diagnostic system on the base of transition radiation analysis is very informative and sensitive method for stuydyng physical properties of the beam and adjusting of electron CW linacs. Optical transition radiation converted to standard TV signal is analysed with the help of original computer based binary system of technical vision. It is possible to realize beam diagnostic in real time due to special hardware algorithms of image processing realized in video processor. The feature ensures cost effective solutions and simple software support. Data flows of digitalized information are very compact and full of inforamtion. Diagnostic system is connected to computer control system of racetrack microtron injector. Experimental results of the system application are described.
