Overview
The Condor VC 100x XMC product is a video capture and compression card that has been designed for use in various applications such as surveillance, image detection, video recording, unmanned vehicles (UAV) and other camera based video recording/analysis applications.
This XMC form factor video capture card supports up to 4 video inputs. Various input formats (NTSC/PAL/ SECAM/HD/HD-SDI/3G-SDI) are selectable through an API. Depending upon product version, IO is handled either through front connector or through the rear Pn4 connector.
The Condor VC 100x XMC video capturecard does H.264 encoding in hardware, minimizing CPU usage. Video data is captured and stored in files. This data is available to customer applications for processing, analysis or display on a local graphics card. The Condor VC 100x XMC configuration also supports transfer of the video stream via UDP or TCP/IP for remote display of captured data. An API is provided to manage captured video data.
Condor VC 100x is available in various ruggedized levels and has conduction or convection cooled variants.
While Windows or Linux drivers are available by default, other real time operating systems (RTOS) such as VxWorks, Integrity and LynxOS may be optionally supported on both X86 and PowerPC platforms.
Tech Source has provided graphics solutions for over 23 years and always met customer needs. The products come with Tech Source’s commitment of availability for up to 7 years. This, along with the excellent support from Tech Source’s technical team.
