Frame Grabber for real-time applications |
Modern operating systems have enhanced multimedia support for audio and video streams.
Microsoft Video-for-Windows or the Direct- Show- Interface, as well as Video for Linux are such examples.
The advantage of such streams is buffering of some images, before they are shown. This can fill a short term
performance drop-out in the whole data stream. The disadvantage is the delay e.g. between
the camera and the display that often exceeds a whole second. Of course HaSoTec Frame Grabbers support streams
with an additional Direct- Show- WDM- driver with Video- for- Windows interface. At the same time
there is the possibility for real-time support with a minimum delay time. Before a video frame is sent completely
one can analyze the first parts of the image. This HaSoTec API is independent to the operating system and
available even for Dos, Linux, OS/2, Windows CE, Windows 3.x.
HaSoTec PCI Express Frame Grabber FG-36 contains the complete functionality of FG-34 and additional features. A 26-pole connector, 1xS-Video and
1x compisite video are accesible through the bracket of the cards slot. Additional inputs up to six composite or three
S-video sources are connectable.

Frame Grabber with real-time image processing capabilities |
It is correct, analoge video data at its full resolution and color can be transferred already through the conventional
PCI bus. For real-time applications this captures a big part of the PCI Bus bandwidth. PCI Express (PCIe) solutions
need less than 50% of the PCIe bandwidth, the transfer takes at least half the time. The future of PCI-Express-Slots
will bring chipsets, that have for each seperate slot independent bus capacity.
