Digital frame grabber has enhanced features
The new Coreco Imaging Rebel Digital is a cost-effective digital frame grabber offering many new features not previously available.
The PC-CamLink provides the user with a flexible interface for high speed, high resolution, Camera Link cameras with clock rates up to 62.5 MHz.
Unique to the PC-Camlink is 16MB of on-board memory which maintains the required high data transfer rates while minimizing CPU utilization and risk of data loss.
On-board real-time image re-sequencing for multi-tap digital cameras significantly reduces host CPU burden, thereby giving the host more time to process and analyze image data.
The PC-CamLink is capable of bus mastering image data directly to the host PC memory as lines become available.
It also has the ability to provide data in 4:2:2 image format means that it is able to deliver non-destructive overlay on live images with almost no load on the host CPU - a unique feature in the industry! Key features: Camera Link interface simplifies camera integration - control, and cabling use a standard interface.
120MB/s sustained bus master transfer to host, guarantees no missing lines and low host CPU burden.
Non-destructive overlay on live image with 0% load on the host CPU.
On-the-fly re-sequencing of image data for multi-tap cameras.
OPTO-22 compatible parallel I/O (8/8) port eliminates need for an additional I/O card.
Dual 16 x 16 LUT for image transformations.
16MB of on-board buffering for reliable image capture.
Acquisition rates up to 62.5 MHz.
Scatter-gather feature supports highly memory-efficient image transfers and management. Request a free brochure from Firstsight Vision ...
