Frame grabbers

EDT has added the PCIe8 DV C-Link to its range of high-speed frame grabbers for PCI, PCIe, cPCI and PMC form factors.

The frame grabber board is a camera link interface that provides high-resolution image capture for digital video. It has two MDR 26-pin connectors and supports one full-, one medium- or up to two base-mode cameras, with peak data rates of up to 1.4 Gbps at 20-85 MHz.

Supported operating systems include Windows, Solaris, Linux, Mac and (on request) VxWorks. The board fits in any 8- or 16-lane PCI Express bus. Images are captured and displayed in real time, and camera speed, resolution and number of buffers are limited only by host bandwidth and memory.

The board is supplied with drivers for supporting operating systems and a software development kit that includes C language libraries, examples, utilities, image capture and display GUI, camera configuration files and camera link standard DLL for camera control.
