Videocards

ISS video capture cards can manage both NTSC and PAL video streams, and are available in PCI and PCI Express versions. Cards range in capability from 30 fps to 240fps, with a multitude of different allowable configurations, including the maximum capability of 720 fps NTSC.

PCI-Express Boards

TVISS4E

The ISS TVISS4E PCI Express board is capable of 120 fps NTSC (100 fps PAL) and can accept up to 16 channels multiplexed or 4 channels in real time.

Additional Information: Using the TVISS4E boards ensures that you will avoid the limitations of the PCI bus. Using the PCI Express bus ensures that each TVISS4E board will process video at up to 250 Mb/sec.

A video cable comes with the TVISS4E board (4 / 8 /16 channel). To connect video sources to the board, a BNC cable is connected from the camera to the video pigtails, and the video pigtails is connected to the DB25 port of the board.

The DHR-15 port on the TVISS4E board is used for the connection of audio. This will enable the synchronization of audio with video.
