VisionRGB-PRO2 Card

A standalone 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 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-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 can be operated
with any standard graphics adapter and is supplied with Windows®
2000, Windows® Server 2003 and Windows® XP-PRO drivers. For
applications requiring improved update rates and lower system
overhead then we recommend using the
Vantage4 or
iH4
range of graphics 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 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-PRO 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 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 VisionRGB-PRO2 to your own applications.
