PCI Express frame grabbers offer cost-effective image acquisition for machine vision applications.
Firstsight Vision has added two new PCI Express frame grabbers from Dalsa to its portfolio of analogue image acquisition boards.
The Bandit-3 CV Express and the PC2 COMP Express offer OEMs cost-effective image acquisition for general purpose video applications, including video monitoring, medical visualisation, surveillance and machine vision applications.
The boards are supplied with the well- established Sapera Essential application-specific toolkit to allow rapid development of high performance imaging solutions.
Both boards conform to the half-size PCI Express x1 form factor enabling them to fit any PCI Express slot providing maximum flexibility yet maintaining excellent performance.
Images may be captured from up to six colour or monochrome composite video cameras, or two S-video cameras.
Real-time image transfer to host with minimum CPU loading enhances the system's processing capabilities.
The new Express frame grabbers are engineered within Dalsa's "Trigger- to-Image Reliability" framework to ensure highly reliable and efficient acquisition control throughout the entire image capture sequence.
The PC2 Comp provides a very cost-effective acquisition-only solution.
This relies on the system VGA to deal with display while the Bandit 3 includes a separate and independent VGA and video output capability which can be used in place of or in addition to the system VGA.
Both boards are supplied with Sapera Essential, a cost-effective software imaging toolkit that bundles board level acquisition and control with image processing tools providing the critical functionality to design, develop and deploy high-performance machine vision applications.
Sapera Essential offers users a single API and a comprehensive feature set, including program portability, versatile camera controls, flexible display functionality and management and easy-to-use application development wizards.
