The Bandit-II RGB is a high-performance, integrated VGA frame grabber that supports almost any analogue camera.
The Bandit-II RGB is a high-performance, integrated VGA frame grabber that supports almost any analogue camera including the new JAI CV-M77 RGB camera, which provides high resolution progressive scan imaging at high frame rates.
Designed for use with monochrome, RGB, composite video and S-video cameras, the Bandit-II RGB offers developers of colour vision applications extensive acquisition and display functionality at a reduced price.
A flexible, state-of-the-art acquisition control unit (ACU) that can acquire images from a mix of RGB, composite video, S-video and monochrome multiplexed cameras in both continuous and asynchronous modes is one of the unique features of the board with on the fly channel switching and input lookup tables.
Full control of a lowpass filter, as well as brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and sharpness controls provides for superior image quality.
On the display side the Bandit II can operate as a frame grabber with system VGA or as a frame grabber with a non-system display card supporting the multiple VGA adapter feature in both Windows 2000 and XP.
As a desktop VGA, the Bandit-II RGB offers highly optimised 2D and 3D display rendering with up to 16Mbyte of shared display memory.
With its integrated dual-head display capability, live images can be displayed on the primary or secondary display output, in a window or in full screen mode.
The Bandit-II RGB also supports Windows VGA extended desktop display capability in conjunction with a third-party VGA card.
Hardware interpolated zoom, scaling flip and mirror by an arbitrary factor allows zooming and scaling the entire image or a particular region of interest without CPU overhead and a unique display DMA push enables display of processed images to the display again without CPU involvement.
The Bandit II RGB is compatible with Coreco Imaging's IFC and Sapera programming interfaces along with WiT (which is a graphical programming tool) and Stemmer Imaging's Common Vision Blocks.
A Twain driver is also available at no charge on request.
