The Alta-AN family has been discontinued. Please contact our sales team for further information and availability.

The Alta-AN is an affordable, versatile analog product family for Semiconductor and Industrial Vision OEMs. This family can acquire from almost any analog camera on the market; from high speed asynchronous-reset monochrome cameras to super high resolution color HDTV cameras. The Alta frame grabbers are high-quality, flexible, PCI Express bus imaging products that are well supported by an easy-to-use SDK and drivers for most popular software imaging packages.

There are two main models in the Alta family: Alta-AN1 and Alta-AN4. The Alta-AN1 has one Virtual Frame Grabber (VFG) and can support one analog camera of any type. The the Alta-AN4 has four VFGs and support four cameras. Each Alta model is a half size x4 PCI Express board (supporting total data rate up to 1.0 GB/S). Each VFG is a completely independent frame grabber. This means that each VFG can be configured for a different camera, different triggering mode, different destination buffer and can be in a different acquisition state than the other VFGs. But most importantly, all of the VFGs on one board can acquire simultaneously at the camera's full frame rate and resolution.
