VisionRGB-PRO  PC Capture card for Analogue RGB Data Some working environments require  constant access to VGA data from another source. Traditionally this data is transmitted over special cabling as an analogue RGB signal for display on  dedicated screens which sit alongside other Windows® based screens. The drawback of such a solution is that you need an extra monitor for every RGB data feed and therefore reduced space in the work environment. The VisionRGB-PRO is the ideal solution to this problem - and means you can integrate the RGB data and get rid of the dedicated terminal. A standalone PCI plug in card, the VisionRGB-PRO captures the display output (e.g. the analogue RGB/VGA data) from one computer screen and then displays it as an independent application, in real time, on your Windows® desktop. The VisionRGB-PRO has two VGA compatible inputs for simultaneously feeding two independent data sources directly into your main  PC. The data is then converted on the VisionRGB-PRO and displayed as a standard Windows® application on your desktop. All your data in one place, and no need for that dedicated monitor!! The VisionRGB-PRO can be operated with any standard graphics adapter and is supplied with Windows 2000 and XP drivers. For applications requiring improved update rates and lower system overhead then we recommend using either the Horizon or iH range of graphics adapters. The VisionRGB software, when used with the iH4 graphics cards, implements direct DMA to the graphics texture memory. The captured RGB is then rendered to the display using hardware texture mapping to greatly improve performance. This implementation dramatically improves update rates when the image is up-scaled as would be required with video/data wall applications. Each part of the up-scaled image is rendered by the associated  graphics processor, effectively parallel processing the up-scaling process. The VisionRGB-PRO is also supplied with a powerful software application for configuring the timing and the format of the input sources and  displaying the captured data. We also provide an SDK so you can  interface the Vision RGB-PRO to your own applications.

The VisionRGB-PRO uses specialised dual ported video memory to ensure the highest possible performance with low system overhead. The VisionRGB has 6MBytes of video capture memory per channel and can capture data at 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 and 1600 x 1200  resolutions. The VisionRGB-PRO captures data at a maximum rate of  280Mpixels per second. Once captured, the data is converted to either 555, 565  or 888 pixel display formats and then transferred over the PCI bus to host memory, for display on the desktop. Dynamic Input Source Selection Administrator Mode Update Indicator Always on Top Models Available The VisionRGB-PRO is available in two models, the RGB-PRO-1  and the RGB-PRO-2. The Vision RGB-PRO-1 is a  single channel PCI Capture card whereas the RGB-PRO-2 is a dual channel (simultaneous capture) PCI Capture Card.
