Dalsa Coreco : PC2-COMP EXPRESS

Analog Frame Grabber

Dalsa Frame Grabbers

THIS MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED

Description

The PC2-COMP Express frame grabber is a cost

effective video capture board designed to meet the dynamic

requirements of general-purpose video applications. Available as

half-size PCI Express x1 form factor board, the PC2-

COMPExpressoffers a cost effective solution for a wide

variety of application areas including video monitoring, medical

visualization, surveillance, and machine vision applications. Its

flexible acquisition front-end allows video capture from up to six

color or monochrome composite video or two S video cameras. Designed

within DALSAS field proven “Trigger-to-Image Reliability” framework,

the PC2-COMP-Express allows OEMs to bring high

performance imaging solutions to market, faster.

The PC2-COMP Express offers multiplexed acquisition

channels capable of acquiring video from NTSC/RS170 or PAL/CCIR

cameras. Digitized images are transferred using on-board DMA to VGA

display and system memory in real-time without loading the host

computer resources.

For superior image acquisition,the PC2-

COMPExpress痴 highly adaptive programmable input filters

offer brightness, contrast, hue, saturation,and sharpness controls.

The programmable input gain controller allows automatic or manual

adjustments.

The PC2-COMP-Express features interpolated scale

down by an arbitrary for the entire image or a region-of-interest.

The input video can be flipped horizontally (image mirroring) or

inverted vertically in real-time to maintain a consistent visual

orientation. Image mirroring is an indispensable feature for

teleconferencing, endoscopy, ophthalmology, and a variety of other

image visualization applications

PC2-COMP Express offers trigger input for external

process synchronization. The TTL level trigger input is user

programmable to work as a level or edge trigger input. In level-

trigger mode, images are captured as long as trigger input remains

active. Additionally, PC2-COMPExpress takes full

advantage of Sapera event notification messages like start/end-of-

field/frame/odd/even/transfer, etc. to improve application response

time.

PC2-COMP-Express supports Sapera Essential software

development library under Windows XP Professional and Windows XP

Professional 64-bit1. Teledyne DALSA software development tools

allow users to develop applications with C language DLLs, C

classes, or ActiveX controls on Microsoft Visual C/C 6.0, Visual

Basic 6.0 or Microsoft Visual Studio .Net or higher development

platforms.
