VisionRGB-PRO2 Video Capture Cards

A stand alone PCI plug in card, the VisionRGB-PRO2 captures the display output (e.g. the analogue RGB data) from one source and then displays it as an independent application, on your Windows® desktop. The VisionRGB-PRO2 video capture cards have 2 VGA compatible inputs for simultaneously feeding 2 independent data sources directly into your main PC.

The data is then converted on the VisionRGB-PRO2 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-PRO2 capture cards can be operated with any standard graphics adapter and is supplied with Windows® XP-PRO drivers. For applications requiring improved update rates and lower systems overhead then we recommend using the Vantage4 range of graphics card adapters.

The VisionRGB software, when used with the Datapath graphics cards, implements direct DMA to the graphics texture memory. The captured RGB is then rendered to the display using hardware texture mapping 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 wall and data wall applications.

Up to 32 VisionRGB-PRO2 video capture cards can be installed in a single system, providing up to 64 channels of RGB capture.

Each part of the up-scaled image is rendered by the associated graphics processor, effectively parallel processing the up-scaling process.

The VisionRGB-PRO2 video capture card is also supplied with a powerful software application for configuring the timing, the format of the input sources and the displaying the captured data. We also provide an SDK so you can interface the VisionRGB-PRO2 to your own applications.

• DMA transfers the data across PCI bus without using host CPU cycles
• When used with Datapath Vantage4 graphics card, the CPU load is negligable even if the image is being upscaled to a video wall, resulting in real time performance
• Hardware up and downscaling for resizing the captured video
• Uses specialised dual ported video memory to ensure the highest possible performance with low system overhead
• 6MB of video capture memory per channel and can capture data at 60 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 and 1600 x 1200 resolutions. RGB interlaced modes are also supported as well as many non standard modes
• Captures data at a maximum pixel rate of 280MHz. 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 a display on the desktop
• Dynamic Input Source Selection
• Administrator mode
• Update indicator
• Application program is also built into the Datapath Wall Control software for video wall systems

• Optimised for operation with the range of Vantage4 graphics cards for maximum update rates

We are continously developing the technology used within our product ranges delivering outstanding innovative solutions, therefore the specification may change from time to time.
