PixelPusher® Frame Grabber

Now with both .NET and MFC support

PixelPusher® is an inexpensive standalone frame grabber that connects to a computer through a standard USB 2.0 port. It converts RS-170 (monochrome) video input to true VGA at 30 frames per second (fps) through a USB cable connection. It converts color NTSC composite video input to true VGA at 22.5 fps. There is no need to open your computer case to install an adapter card. Display video on your computer from any analog video source: CCD cameras, VCRs, DVDs and camcorders.

PixelPusher® can be run right out of the box, or a programmer can use it to develop, test and deploy image processing applications. Packaged with the device is a software development kit (SDK) that includes three Microsoft® Visual Studio projects to build C# .NET, Visual Basic .NET and MFC fully functional user interfaces to capture video and perform image processing on that video. These can be readily extended by the programmer. Any Windows client program that can link to a general Windows Dynamic Link Library (DLL) can readily access PixelPusher®.
