The Pelco / Integral Technologies FlashBus Spectrum Lite is a bus-mastering frame grabber for real-time video acquisition and processing. It integrates a Philips TriMedia VLIW video processor with 16 MB SDRAM frame buffer to capture, digitize, and manipulate analog video streams across multiple standards. The card performs hardware-accelerated image scaling, rotation, mirroring, and graphics overlay while transferring data to system memory without CPU intervention.
