FlashBus Spectrim Pro is
a bus-mastering video frame grabber designed
with OEM requirements in mind. FlashBus Spectrim
Pro utilizes the Philips TriMedia video processor
and 16 MB SDRAM frame buffer to give it the
flexibility needed for stringent applications.
With multiple composite, S-Video, and component
video inputs, video output, and high-quality
video capture, FlashBus Spectrim Pro is a perfect
general-purpose frame grabber.

| Bus-Mastering
Performance |
FlashBus Spectrim Pro's high speed bus-mastering
capability delivers real-time video data to system
or display memory, without intervention from the
host CPU. |
| TriMedia
Video Processor |
By incorporating a Philips TriMedia VLIW (very
long instruction word) processor, FlashBus Spectrim
Pro allows for maximum flexibility in handling
challenging application requirements. Equipped
with a 16 MB SDRAM frame buffer, the TriMedia
video processor provides smooth interpolated
scaling, hardware overlay, real-time video rotation,
and video output functionality. |
| High-Quality
Video Capture |
FlashBus Spectrim Pro provides
high-quality capture from up to 4 RGB or YCrCb
component, 8 S-Video, or 16 composite/monochrome
video sources in NTSC or PAL formats. Video
can be captured and stored in either square
pixel or CCIR-601 resolutions, and can be scaled
to any arbitrary size. Fast switching of up
to 20 images per second between camera inputs
is also possible for surveillance applications. |
|
Video Output |
FlashBus
Spectrim Pro also supplies RGB or YCrCb component,
S-Video, or composite video outputs in NTSC
or PAL formats. Video output source data is
acquired from on-board memory, making it completely
independent of the video input. This allows
the video output to not only be from the currently
viewed input video, but also from off-screen
system memory. The Video output also contains
an overlay buffer which can be used to overlay
graphics such as text or images on the video
output. |
| Extensive
Camera Control |
FlashBus
Spectrim Pro was designed for easy camera integration
and control. Power the camera from the fused
and switchable 12 volt power supply, control
camera operation by the RS-232 interface, or
use the general purpose input or output triggers
to control specific camera functions such as
exposure control, all through a single cable
from Spectrim's DB-25 connector. The FlashBus
Spectrim also incorporates an on-board microprocessor
to guarantee accurate synchronization and robust
triggering without relying on the host CPU. |
| Software
Developers Kit |
Like
all Integral Technologies frame grabber products,
a comprehensive software developers kit is available
that provides access to the features of FlashBus
Spectrim family hardware. The SDK includes dlls
for Microsoft Windows 98, ME, 2000, and XP operating
systems. Linux support is also available. Source
code samples are included in both Visual C or
Visual Basic to provide insight to various hardware
functions of the FlashBus Spectrim Pro. Samples
include video-in-a-window, overlay, video buffering,
camera control, and more. As always, Integral
Technologies provides free technical support
to developers using the FlashBus Spectrim SDK.
