Analogue PCI frame grabbers for video
Firstsight Vision has introduced the Bandit-3 CV Express and PC2 COMP Express PCI boards for cost- effective image acquisition for general purpose video applications.
With the advent of 64 bit PCI technology this limitation has been breached.
Using the new DALSA Coreco X64 range of frame grabbers, data rates up to 210MB per second can be achieved, and up to 240MB per second if two X64s are used! When combined with a suitable SATA raid array, the large volumes of data can be recorded to hard disk in real time, for image analysis or archival purposes.
Application areas for this technology include multi-frame image analysis. Request a free brochure from Firstsight Vision ...
