PC-Comp
Back to Standard Grabbers
for Analog Cameras
Back to Coreco Frame Grabbers
| The PC-COMP image capture card provides fast transfer of standard color and monochrome video data to host PC memory. With 1MB of high speed, dual ported, linear mapped video memory running at 60MB/sec, you can simultaneously acquire and send image data to the host PC's memory. |  |
Able to handle inputs from a number of automated imaging and machine vision applications, the PC-COMP is a half-slot PCI bus card that handles video formats of RS-170/CCIR, NTSC/PAL/S-VHS, and VCR output. Strobe and trigger are supported as well.
The PC-COMP can be configured as either a DMA bus master or slave. In bus master mode, special circuitry automatically de-interlaces the image on the fly. This allows data to be DMA'd a frame at a time, sustaining 60MB/sec to the PCI bus, instead of the standard line FIFO method. This greatly reduces the overhead on the CPU for each transfer, freeing up the host when other frame grabbers would be constantly using the CPU. Additionally, AOI's (Areas of Interest) can be transferred out of memory, at full speed, without the need to write any special code. Display is done using the host VGA. On board Pixel Packing circuitry allows data to be sent in 4:2:2 format so Non Destructive Overlays can be created.
Video Formats
- Color-NTSC, PAL, S-VHS
- Monochrome-RS-170, CCIR
Features & Benefits
- Half-size PCI bus card moves images to the host PC in less than 8 msec, providing
an additional 25 msec of free processing time
- On-board frame buffer (1 MB) and DMA bus master contribute to industry's fastest
sustained image transfer times over the PCI bus, eliminating unnecessary processor
overhead
- Supports multiple PC-COMP boards as bus masters on a single PCI bus for multi-camera
applications
- Hardware circuitry automatically de-interlaces images during DMA
- Supports trigger input for "real world" applications and demanding
cycle times
- DMA of Areas of Interest (AOI's) minimizes transfer times
- Outputs data as 4:2:2 for Non Destructive Overlays
Applications
- High performance vision products for professional vision application developers
- Replacement of dedicated vision processors with host based processing
- Applications that need to re-capture lost cycle time to do more processing
- High speed image acquisition from SVideo, NTSC/PAL inputs or RS170/CCIR
