PMC frame grabber
captures digital and aanlogue
The PMC-724 is the first frame-grabber module to support both digital and analogue video capture in a ruggedised PMC form factor
Designed for the environmental extremes of defence and aerospace applications, the PMC-724 builds on existing Dy 4 hardware and software products enabling integration with the company's extensive line of single board computers, PMCs and graphics/imaging platforms. The PMC-724 captures digital video formats such as OpenLDI, and FlatLink, as well as NTSC, Pal, RS-170 and S-Video analogue formats.

Custom digital video formats are also supported through the use of the onboard FPGA.
Support of these video modes makes the PMC-724 an ideal technology insertion solution for retrofit and new applications.
The integrated software support for the PMC-724 enables developers to quickly make use of the frame-grabber module under the VxWorks/Tornado development environment to suit their application and configuration requirements.
Both an X11/OpenGL and graphical user interface (GUI) independent software application programming interface (API) is supported.
Focusing on real-time image capture, the new frame-grabber module provides for multiple frame buffer management and high-speed image transfer to PCI-mapped memory.
The high-speed image transfer is supported through the 66MHz-capable PCIbus interface on the PMC-724.
This along with a number of other features, makes it ideal for use in applications such as target tracking or unmanned air vehicle (UAV) surveillance.
Taking a solutions oriented approach, the PMC-724 is tested and supported with numerous Dy 4 base cards, PMCs and the Cornerstone imaging platform (SVME/DMV-712).
This ensures seamless integration with a broad range of Dy 4 products and enables customers to develop a best-in-class system for the defence and aerospace markets.
