Fast 4K frame grabber for image analysis
German distributor Acceed has made available a new high-performance frame grabber card, designated PCIe-HDV72, in the PCI Express x4 Gen2/3 format, which supports HDMI 2.0 and loss-free 4K or ultra HD image transfer. The uncompressed audio and video data is entered via the MHL 3.0 interface and can be output in RGB format up to 36 bits without loading the CPU. When operated, the card can be used at ambient temperatures of 0 to 55 °C.
Frame grabbers, whose name is derived from their original function to read the individual images of an analogue video signal (frame) and convert them to digital images, are more appropriately referred to as protocol converters nowadays. When used for industry, these specialist devices are the decisive component between the camera and image evaluation where it is important to record memory-intense images and to maintain high data throughput.
The single-channel plug-in PCIe-HDV72 card with HDMI 2.0 support offers a high standard and is able to reduce TCO, in particular for applications where a high-performance video and audio source is to be recorded and evaluated, for example for material testing, production monitoring or medical imaging. The frame grabber features include colour space conversion from the hardware side, RGB support up to 36 bits and YUV 444/422/420 as well as High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) 2.2. The audio decoder supports sampling rates from 32 via 44.1 up to 192 kHz with 16, 20 and 24 bits. With the optional (Windows) ViewCreatorPro software from the same manufacturer, efficient applications can be created for configuration, testing and debugging.
