PC-DIG

The PC-DIG is a PCI-compatible board that provides high performance, yet cost effective, image acquisition for virtually all of today's commercially available digital area scan and linescan cameras. The ability to interface easily with multiple cameras via the PC-DIG's 32-bit differential interface dramatically reduces component costs for automated system builders. High performance features include the frame grabber's parallel digital video acquisition board, which provides the industry's fastest video-data-to-host-PC-memory transfer. With 4MB of high speed SGRAM memmory, the PC-DIG can sustain speeds of up to 120MB/s when transferring video data to host PC memory - with no loss of data, guaranteed. The PC-DIG's onboard, real-time image resequencing capability for multi-tap digital cameras significantly reduces the burden on the host CPU, giving it more time to process and analyze image data. And the PC-DIG's scatter-gather feature enables automated image transfers, further reducing CPU overhead and maximizing the sustained transfer speed.

Key Features

Supports both multi-camera and multi-board applications
120MB/s sustained bus master transfer to host for high speed, accurate image transfer
On-the-fly image data resequencing for multi-tap cameras for faster processing
Two onboard RS232 serial ports provide easy, direct camera function control and setup
OPTO-22 compatible parallel I/O port (8/8) eliminates the need for an additional I/O card when monitoring and controlling discrete events or operations in industrial applications
Scatter-gather feature supports highly memory-efficient image transfers and data management

IC-ASYNC

IC-ASYNC embodies breakthrough technology that, for the first time, integrates four independent, asynchronous frame grabbers on one full size PCI-bus card. The IC-ASYNC, with the ability to acquire up to four camera channels asynchronously, is capable of handling high-speed applications that traditionally could only be performed by expensive and complicated vision processors.

Features:
Supports independent asynchronous acquisitions from upto 4 cameras.
Supports non-standard area scan cameras upto 1K x 1K; variable scan.
Supports upto 2 dual-tap asynchronous camera inputs.
On-board 1MB frame buffer for each of the 4 channels. DMA bus master transfers images to host memory is less than 4ms
Non-destructive overlay using compatible SVGA adapters
Hardware circuitry automatically de-interlaces images during acquisition.
Supports trigger, strobe and frame reset for applications demanding highly responsive asynchronous image capture.
Multiple frame ping-pong source and destination capabilities for simultaneous acquisition and transfer of images to host memory.
On-board 16-bit digital I/O allows for easy connection to industrial I/O peripherals.

PC-Vision

PC-Vision is a half-slot PCI-bus image capture board idel for price sensitive applications and capable of handling inputs from a wide variety of industrial inspection, identification and gauging applications.

Features:
Half-size PCI bus card moves images to the host PC in less than 4ms, providing an additional 29ms of free processing time.
Upto 4 monochrome RS-170 or CCIR cameras
Supports non-standard area scan cameras upto 2K x 1K; interlaced or progressive scan
On-board 2MB VRAM frame buffer and DMA bus master contribute to industry’s fastest sustained image transder times over the PCI-bus, eliminating unnecessary processor overhead.
Hardware circuitry automatically de-interlaces images during DMA
Suipports trigger, strobe and frame reset for developers with “real world” applications and demanding cycle times.
DMA of Areas of Interest (AOIs) minimize transfer times
Video window allows selection of number of pixels per line and number of lines per image.
On-board 16-bit digital I/O allows for easy communication of results to the outside world.
Non-destructive overlay support.
