Frame Grabber Provides 16 Analog Inputs

For security applications requiring low-cost color cameras, the PC_EYE/JPG PCI-Express frame grabber offers on-board JPEG compression hardware for 16 analog channels along with a scaling device and a PCI Express interface with a bandwidth of 250 MB/s. It records analog-color camera data via 16 parallel inputs, all of which contain a separate ADC. Images are recorded in real time and stored in a PC’s main memory. The on-board scaling unit transforms full-resolution images to CIF size or smaller for display in split-screen applications. Additionally, the board supports all standard color and monochrome video cameras in hardware and software, and handles PAL, NTSC, and SECAM video standards. Single-unit price is under $1,800.
