PCVision is a half-slot PCI-bus image capture card designed specifically for price sensitive OEMs
developing machine vision applications. Capable of handling inputs from a large variety of industrial
inspection, identification, and gauging applications, the PCVision board can interface with standard
interlaced (RS-170, CCIR) or progressive scan cameras.

Unique to PCVision is 2MB of onboard VRAM memory for buffering image data between the camera
and host PC system. This feature, not found in other low-cost machine vision boards, allows image
transfers over the PCI-bus that are 10 times faster than competitors, permitting simultaneous data
acquisition and processing. Onboard memory also assures that image information will not be lost
during transfer to system memory.

PCVision supports external trigger, strobes, and frame reset capabilities. A 16-bit digital I/O interface
for communicating results to control devices is built into the board itself.
