Dalsa Coreco : PC2-COMP EXPRESS
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.
