The Datapath Vision SD4+1 captures analogue RGB or digital DVI video signals and triple buffers them into onboard memory. The data is copied using Direct Memory Access to the host system for display, storage or streaming. The card can grab Component HD formats and HDMI up to 1080p resolution, DVI up to resolutions of 1920 x 1200 pixels and RGB up to 2048 x 1536 pixels. Four Composite/S-Video inputs (PAL, NTSC, SECAM) are supported. The maximum video resolution is 720 x 576 pixels.
The Datapath Vision SD4+1 is supplied with a powerful software development kit for configuring the timing and format of the input sources and displaying the data. A driver for STEMMER IMAGING’s Common Vision Blox imaging toolkit is also available for industrial applications.
