Available as a half-size PCI Express x1 form factor board, the PC2-COMP Express is a cost-effective video capture board designed to meet the dynamic requirements of general-purpose video applications including video monitoring, medical visualization, surveillance, and machine vision applications. Its flexible acquisition front-end allows video capture from up to six colour or monochrome composite video or two S video cameras.

Video capture
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.

Special features
Input Video Controls
For superior image acquisition, the PC2-COMP Express’s highly-adaptive, programmable input filters offer brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and sharpness controls. The programmable input gain controller allows automatic or manual adjustments.

Scale, zoom, invert and flip
The PC2-COMP Express features interpolated scale down by an arbitrary amount 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

Software support
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.
