Back to Bitflow Frame Grabbers

The world's first universal analog camera interface combines flexible multi-camera capabilities with proven system interface technology. A single Raven board can accept up to four simultaneous camera inputs. And for application flexibility, the Raven works with all analog cameras -- not only standard-scan RS170/CCIR monochrome as well as high quality RGB color cameras, but also non-standard types such as line-scanners, progressive-scan, and high-performance dual-tap cameras.

• Flexible scatter/gather bus master DMA architecture
• Acquires directly into system memory with no latency or CPU usage
• Variable-scan: line scan / progressive area scan / dual-tap
• Standard-scan: RS-170 / CCIR
• 40MHz input channels
• Acquisition from four synchronized cameras
• Acquisition window and frame reset control
• Per channel strobe, encoder and asynchronous reset
• Acquires image sizes up to 512K by 32K (vertical size is unlimited for line scan cameras)
• Accepts pixel clock, line enable and frame enable
• Provides clock output from 0 to 24MHz
• User-programmable camera controls and general purpose output signals
• Trigger and encoder inputs
• Multiple trigger modes
• Camera specific cabling and configuration files for popular industrial cameras
