VGA2USB PRO - External VGA Frame Grabber
Epiphan Systems’ VGA2USB Pro is the world’s most
advanced external frame grabber and is designed for power users that
require extremely high precision industrial VGA capture. The VGA2USB
Pro can capture VGA streams at resolutions of up to 2048 x 2048 in a
24-bit palette, and is able to achieve a maximum capture rate of 60
frames per second. Encased in solid aluminum, this device uses the most
advanced FPGA and Philips ADC in order to achieve pixel rates of 270
Megapixels per second.
Because FPGA and 32MB RAM lossless compression is performed on board
with normal utilization USB bus bandwidth, lossless 2048 x 2048 with 30
fps is achievable in the majority of applications.
In military, scientific, industrial, and educational applications
which require the capture of a VGA signal in ultra-high precision, the
VGA2USB Pro is the frame grabber of choice.
Packing 32 Megabytes
of buffer RAM, on board cropping, integrated color space conversion,
USB Transfer Accelerator™, and Compression Booster Filters™, this is
Epiphan Systems’ most powerful VGA grabber.
While being the same
physical size as the other devices in the VGA2USB family, the VGA2USB
Pro provides the user with a sharp and diagnostic-quality picture at
any given resolution.
An SDK, WDM drivers, and DirectShow API is
included for those users that need to integrate the VGA2USB Pro into
their custom applications.
