The FrameLink PCIe is a professional, state of art, PCI-express digital frame grabber that allows users to view and store in real time megapixel video images on their desktop computers. It is capable of capturing single or multiple frames, and standard AVI clips from two Base CameraLink compliant video sources. Each captured frame can be stamped with a user message along with the date and time of capture. The FrameLink PCIe comes with an easy to use application program, drivers and an SDK that allows quick and simple integration into machine vision applications.
As the world's FIRST digital CameraLink frame grabbers for laptops, the FrameLink has become a household name for thousands of customers across the globe who have come to rely on FrameLink to develop and implement solutions to various applications, which include Machine Vision, Medical Imaging, Security, and other industrial, commercial and military applications. The next generation, FrameLink PCIe , leverages off of the success of the FrameLink and provides even more advanced features and value. Note that the FrameLink PCIe is fully backward compatible with existing FrameLink and FrameLink Express SDK based applications. Migrating existing FrameLink and FrameLink Express applications to the FrameLink PCIe does not require any software modification or recompilation.
