/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DALSA Corporation (TSX: DSA), today
announced two new "Express" frame grabbers -- the Bandit-3 CV
Express(TM) and the PC2 COMP Express(TM). Both image acquisition
boards conform to the half-size PCI Express x1 form factor.
Designed to meet the dynamic requirements of general purpose video
applications, both provide cost effective solutions for video
monitoring, medical visualization, surveillance, and machine vision
applications. The Bandit-3 CV Express and The PC2 COMP Express have
a flexible acquisition front end that allow video capture from up
to six color or monochrome composite video, or two S-video cameras.
The new Express frame grabbers are also engineered within DALSA's
"Trigger-to-Image Reliability" framework to ensure highly reliable
and efficient acquisition control throughout the entire image
capture sequence. This exacting technology framework leverages
DALSA's hardware and software innovations to control and monitor
the image acquisition process, from the time that an external
trigger event occurs to the moment the data is transmitted to the
PCI Express bus. "DALSA's new Express image acquisition boards
enable OEMs to get to market faster with high performance imaging
solutions," said Philip Colet, vice president, sales and marketing,
