HiPerCam 2 consists of intelligent frame grabber acquiring video from 1 or more progressive-scan CCD cameras. Onboard DMA controller routes color composite, monochrome composite, or Y/C video to onboard memory. Twin multiplexed Y/C inputs reside on separate PMC module, and support switching as fast as every 4 frames. Onboard sequencer supports camera reset/restart features, external triggering, and synchronous firing of flashlights. System connects to host or DCS via RS232 and 10/100 Mbyte Ethernet, plus 4 opto-isolated inputs and 4 opto-isolated outputs. AGP VGA controller supports full SVGA resolution at up to 85 Hz. USB port readily accepts mouse and keyboard.
