FlashPoint 3D Lite is a high-performance, low-cost AGP
frame grabber designed to capture and display full-frame color and monochrome
video in real time to VGA display memory. Also available in PCI bus format,
it is specifically designed with features for OEMs, VARs, and system integrators
designing systems that require high-quality video acquisition in a low-cost,
easy-to-install solution
|
3D is the first in the FlashPoint family of products to
incorporate an on-board 3D accelerator and 8MB of fast SGRAM. Its
128-bit memory interface is capable of running at speeds up to 125MHz,
allowing for display resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 85Hz.
|
FlashPoint 3D Lite supports nondestructive overlay
of text and graphics on live video. This enables applications that
require crosshairs, selector boxes, or other objects to be displayed on
live video while the underlying video is cleanly captured or displayed.
Its independent control of the graphics and video color depth allows efficient
memory usage that supports the simultaneous display and capture of high-
resolution video (up to 768x576) on a high-resolution desktop (up to 1280x1024).
|
FlashPoint 3D Lite multiplexes up to 3 composite/RS-170
and 1 S-Video inputs in both NTSC and PAL formats and supports the
capture of non interlaced video from progressive scan cameras. Video is
displayed full-screen or in a resizable window and can be adjusted (offset
and gain) to desired levels through software- controlled video amplifiers.
Very low pixel jitter ensures accurate representation of horizontal detail.
|
FlashPoint 3D Lite allows for simultaneous VGA and
video output by incorporating an integrated video encoder. Both a composite
and S-Video output is provided in NTSC and PAL formats. Flicker reduction
is possible with a programmable flicker filter.
|
To control external devices or cameras, the FlashPoint
3D Plus has been designed with multiple I/O or camera interface controls.
A software-controlled, optically isolated contact closure circuit enables
triggering a strobe for synchronizing illumination to a digitized video
frame. A general-purpose input trigger and TTL output trigger allow for
synchronization of image acquisition to external events.
|
| A comprehensive Software Developers Kit (SDK) provides
programmable access to the features of the FlashPoint 3D's hardware
architecture. The SDK includes DLLs for Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT, Visual
Basic support, MCI, Video for Windows (AVI) and TWAIN drivers, and sample
applications with source code. Source code samples provide insight to various
functions of the FlashPoint 3D, such as video-in-a- window, color and chroma
key, camera integration control and triple buffering. FlashPoint 3D offers
full DirectX support.
