VMC-6/PC104 Video Capture Board
Incorporating the latest digital video technology, Videomail's
VMC-6/PC104 Video Capture Board is ideal for demanding applications which
require real-time capture of high-quality video frames or motion video clips
from a wide variety of video sources.
In addition, the VMC-6/PC104 Video Capture Board contains advanced
circuitry to interface with external trigger inputs and strobes, which allows
it to reliably capture video frames generated by asynchronous events.
The VMC-6/PC104 Video Capture Board is available in a variety of
price/performance configurations, suitable for different target applications.
These range from economical configurations for end-user applications,
to high-end fully-featured units configured for OEM industrial machine vision
installations.
