Phoenix HD-/SDI records and archives HD images

A Stemmer Imaging product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jun 8, 2009

Stemmer Imaging has added Active Silicon's range of Phoenix HD-/SDI high-speed digital frame grabbers to its portfolio.

The Phoenix HD-/SDI can be used in medical engineering or broadcasting situations to present, record, archive and post-process high-resolution images or video sequences on a PC.

The PCIe boards acquire digital data from a variety of uncompressed 8bit and 10bit SDI and HD-/SDI sources.

The boards capture standard-definition SDI-sources of 270Mbits/s up to 540Mbit/s, as well as high-definition HD-/SDI sources, such as Toshiba's full-HD camera, the IK-HD1, with data rates up to 1.484Gbit/s.

Both PCIe x1 and x4 bus versions are available for HD-/SDI connection to a single HD-/SDI/SD-/SDI camera or dual connection to two cameras for parallel image capture.

In the PCIe x1 version, approximately 180Mbyte/s can be transferred into the PC, rising to almost 700Mbyte/s for the PCIe x4 version.

The acquired image data can be mapped into a suitable format and can be transferred directly to a graphics display or be saved and processed.

Various I/Os enable easy interfacing and communication.

Rapid system development and integration is possible using either drivers from Stemmer Imaging's Common Vision Blox software library or Active Silicon's own SDK.

Setting up complete recording and archiving systems for DVI or HD-/SDI cameras is possible with Stemmer Imaging's own movie PC systems.
