4-channel video frame grabber in PC/104-Plus format

5 September 2007 Computer/Embedded Technology

For the highest demands in security and surveillance applications, image recording (digitising), and image evaluation, Digital-Logic has developed the video frame grabber Microspace MSMG104+. The PC/104-Plus extension card is based on a BT878 frame grabber with 4-channel video multiplexer.

Three video cameras (CVBS) and one S-Video camera can be connected to the product. The compact video frame grabber supports common image formats like PAL and NTSC and the software supports toggling between both formats. The bandwidth for PAL resolution is 30 frames/sec (fps) and the 32 bit/33 MHz PCI bus permits simultaneous operation of two video streams in PAL resolution. More cameras (three to four) are possible with a reduced frame rate or lower resolution, or by using multiple MSMG104+ cards. Drivers for Windows and Linux are available. The card is connected to the 32 bit PCI bus and requires only one PCI resource.

The MSMG104+ has dimensions of 90 mm x 96 mm x 17 mm (W x L x H) and a weight of 120 g. It requires a 5 V power supply and operates within the standard temperature range of -25°C to +70°C. On request it is also available for an extended operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. An MTBF (mean time between failures) value of over 100 000 hours confirms the high level of reliability and longevity of the board.
