Analog PCIe-RTV24 / PCI-RTV24 4-CH PCI Express® / PCI Real-time Video Capture Cards for Standard Cameras Introduction General The PCIe-RTV24/PCI-RTV24 acquisition board are designed without compromise for machine vision and video surveillance applications. They are the ideal devices for PC-based multiple-channel vision application. The PCIe-RTV24 PCI Express® x1 lane frame grabber can capture simultaneously four analog video streams in real time. It accepts standard composite colors (PAL, NTSC) or monochrome video formats (CCIR, EIA). PCIe-RTV24 The supported resolution is programmable and includes square-pixel (640 x 480 or 768 x 576) and broadcast resolution. Before captured images are transferred to the PC's memory, images can be scaled down using available selectable ratios. PCI-RTV24 Arbitrary cropping to regions of interest is possible. The PCIe-RTV24 generates bitmaps in all popular color formats such as RGB, YUV, planar, or packed. System integrators also benefit from a watchdog for fault-tolerant applications and easy-to-use standard connectors.
