Back to Teledyne DALSA Frame Grabbers
The PC2-Vision Express frame grabber is a high-performance
board whose acquisition circuitry is exceptionally versatile and designed
to interface with standard (RS-170 and CCIR), nonstandard (progressive
scan), RGB and dual-channel analog cameras.
The PC2-Vision simplifies camera interfacing by offering fully programmable
timing coupled with efficient cabling and a variety of trigger, strobe
and asynchronous reset options. It features six inputs and high digitization
rates, making it an ideal solution for a wide variety of industrial
inspection, identification and gauging applications. The PC2-Vision
has been engineered within DALSA's Trigger-to-Image Reliability framework
to ensure highly reliable and efficient acquisition control throughout
the entire image capture sequence. Acquisition
The PC2-Vision acquires from standard and non-standard monochrome
and RGB analog sources. Its A/D converter can digitize
up to three synchronized monochrome cameras. Alternatively,
simultaneous acquisition is supported through a frame delay
mode feature allowing concurrent capture from all six inputs to increase
camera interface flexibility.
The PC2-Vision features anti-aliasing filters with cutoff frequency
of 6MHz or 12MHz that are software selectable and a filter bypass
option. A high accuracy 40MHz triple channel 8-bit analog to digital
converter offers gain and offset control to precisely match the video
voltage level of the camera. Host transfers
The PC2-Vision's transfers-to-host are performed via the PCI bus,
supports the PCI32 platform and 5V and 3.3V PCI compliant, supporting
the widest range of PCs based on the PCI bus architecture.
Minimal CPU involvement is required as the board automatically retrieves
each descriptor (from host memory) representing the non-contiguous
host buffer.
The board allows transfers to host memory or to display. |
