PCIe frame grabber from ADLINK offers full 1080p HD video steaming

ADLINK has released the HDV62, a PCI Express frame grabber offering uncompressed image acquisition and video streaming in full 1080p HD.

The key features of ADLINK HDV62 are:
1. Provides 1920x1080p resolution, progressive scan, and noise reduction for good image quality, as well as a wide aspect ratio that is more comfortable to the human eye.
2. Equipped with a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and 512 MB memory buffer.
3. Offers the ability to stream uncompressed image to the host PC, in addition to color space conversion in real-time via on-board hardware in order to offload repetitive tasks from the host CPU.
4. It is based on the PCI Express x4 form factor and is designed for medical imaging, scientific imaging, military application and high-end video surveillance system integrators by providing uncompressed video streaming up to 1920x1080p at 60 fps and lossless pixel information for both spatial and frequency domain analysis.
5. performs real-time color space conversion, supporting RGB, YUV, and monochrome pixel output formats to facilitate applications that require different color formats for different image analysis.
6. Provides various video input support from both digital and component analog video inputs for HD (high definition) or SD (standard definition) video via a 170 MHz DVI input or through RBG and YPbPr analog component inputs.
7. Uses Microsoft DirectShow to simplify acquisition and deployment of images.


"As market demand for high definition 1920x1080p solutions has increased, major camera vendors have recently released or planning to release high definition cameras," stated Ethan Huang, Senior Product Director at ADLINK. "With imaging applications migrating from standard definition to high definition, the HDV62 offers an effective solution combining uncompressed streaming and real-time color space conversion to fully utilize these new high definition cameras."
