Summary
The Image/VGA-410 series are single-slot PCI boards that contain an integrated frame grabber and 64-bit 3D accelerated VGA display controller. High quality video images can be digitized and displayed in real time inside a resizable video window on the computer's VGA monitor. Text and graphics can be written into the VGA memory and, using a color key, overlayed non-destructively on top of the live video. Chroma keying is supported so that a background can be underlaid behind the video scene.
Image/VGA-410 is a fully functional VGA controller. Resolutions, with a live video window, of up to 1280x1024x24 bits are supported. The VGA graphics and video may have different pixel depths. The VGA data can be independently double buffered.
Image/VGA-410 provides 12V DC power through the DB-15 connector for supplying power to the camera.
A Strobe signal, controlled by the 10-bit counter can be used to control the camera exposure/integration. The Event Trigger starts the Strobe on an external event. A hardware trigger allows the capture of the next field or next frame of video.
