The VCE-PRO is a professional, PCMCIA Cardbus frame grabber that allows users to display, capture, store, and preview full motion video on their laptop or notebook computers. The VCE-PRO is capable of capturing single or multiple frames, and standard AVI clips from any NTSC, PAL, SECAM or RS170 video source. Each captured frame can be stamped with a user message along with the date and time of capture. A specially designed image viewer gives users the ability to view, scroll or step through the recorded images. A built-in capture delay function enables users to program their card to record sequences of events at later dates and times. The VCE-PRO also comes with an external triggering option that allows quick and simple integration into demanding machine vision applications.
