The I-Color MV frame grabber and video streamer is the newest member of the I-Series of high accuracy, high performance imaging boards. t is based on the high performance I-Series architecture. This model guarantees high-speed video streaming and inspection-quality images for demanding machine vision applications.

The product delivers high accuracy video images and guaranteed high speed video streaming. It accepts up to 4 video inputs from the following video sources and formats: composite color, S-Video, monochrome, NTSC, PAL, RS-170, and CCIR. Video digitization is 16 or 24 bits color and 8 bits monochrome. Color video formats include YUV 4:2:2 and RGB 8:8:8. Contributing to its high accuracy, the product features low pixel jitter of ±2.0 ns and a signal-to-noise ratio of 47 dB. Powered by high speed PCI bus mastering, scatter-gather technology, and double buffering, it supports 120+ MB/second sustained PCI bus transfers to accommodate the most demanding video streaming applications. The product supports simultaneous real-time display via real-time transfer of images directly to display card memory or via image transfer over the VIP/VMI over-the-top bus to industry-standard display cards. It features independent, dual video paths so users can display one type of video format (i.e. YUV 4:2:2) and transfer another video format (i.e. 8 bit monochrome) for processing and measurement. For integration in machine vision environments, the product offers a variety of machine vision and camera controls including a strobe interface, a dedicated high current digital output, a dedicated input trigger, sync I/O, camera integration control, eight general purpose digital I/Os, camera power, and more.

The product is supported by IDEA (Imaging Development Environment for Applications) software development kit. Common Vision Blox, Image-Pro Plus, Optimas, and TWAIN drivers are available for higher-level application requirements.
