The CyberOptics/Imagenation PX-610A-00 is a precision video frame grabber for industrial and scientific image acquisition. This PCI bus master device captures high-accuracy imagery from progressive scan cameras, eliminating motion blur in fast-moving subjects. It supports up to four composite video inputs with software-selectable sources in RS-170 (NTSC) and CCIR (PAL) formats, delivering resolutions up to 768 × 486 pixels (RS-170) or 768 × 576 pixels (CCIR) at 8-bit depth with less than 0.8 LSB video noise.
## Technical Specifications
