Frame grabber and video streamer acquire from various sources
OCTOBER 6, 2009--The AccuStream Express 170 frame grabber and video streamer features a high-performance PCI Express x4 board design. The board acquires from DVI, RGB, YPbPr, HDTV, and monochrome video sources up to 170-MHz pixel rates. This includes 1080p HDTV, 1600 x 1200 pixels, and other standard and nonstandard high-resolution video formats. It is designed for the high-speed PCIe x4 bus and delivers sustained data transfers of 750 Mbytes/s. This is exceeds what is required to deliver full 1080p HDTV video at 60 frames/s. It achieves pixel jitter of +/-0.5 ns and a signal-to-noise ratio of 47 dB.
