Some working environments require constant access to
VGA data from another source. Traditionally this data is transmitted over
special cabling as an analogue RGB signal for display on dedicated
screens which sit alongside other Windows® based screens. The drawback of
such a solution is that you need an extra monitor for every RGB data feed and
therefore reduced space in the work environment. The VisionRGB-PRO is the
ideal solution to this problem - and means you can integrate the RGB data and
get rid of the dedicated terminal.
A standalone PCI plug in card, the VisionRGB-PRO captures the display output
(e.g. the analogue RGB/VGA data) from one computer screen and then displays it
as an independent application, in real time, on your Windows® desktop. The
VisionRGB-PRO 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-PRO 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-PRO can be operated with any standard graphics adapter and is
supplied with Windows 2000 and XP drivers. For applications requiring improved
update rates and lower system overhead then we recommend using either the
Horizon or iH range of graphics adapters. The VisionRGB software, when used
with the iH4 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/data wall applications. Each part of the up-scaled
image is rendered by the associated graphics processor, effectively
parallel processing the up-scaling process.
The VisionRGB-PRO 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 Vision RGB-PRO to your own applications.

up and downscaling for re-sizing the captured video |
| The
VisionRGB-PRO uses specialised dual ported video memory to ensure the
highest possible performance with low system overhead. |
| The
VisionRGB has 6MBytes of video capture memory per channel and can
capture data at 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 and 1600 x 1200
resolutions. |
| The
VisionRGB-PRO captures data at a maximum rate of 280Mpixels per second.
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 display on the desktop. |
