Coreco offers free frame grabber with software purchase

Montreal, Quebec, Canada – Coreco Imaging is offering a free PCVisionplus analog frame grabber with every purchase of the company’s WiT visual programming software package. This special offer is effective through December 31, 2002. Coreco Imaging’s standard warranty for the PCVisionplus (12 months from the date of shipment) is in effect during this time.

Typically priced at $1250 US, the PCVisionplus is designed for use with fast analog, progressive, and variable scan cameras. The board digitizes monochrome analog video to 8 or 12 bits at sample frequencies up to 53 Mhz. A hardware scatter gather bus-mastering feature enables high-speed simultaneous source grab and host transfer with minimal CPU involvement, while a high-speed PCI interface permits 133MB/sec bus master host transfers.

WiT’s interactive block diagram visual programming interface and C-code generator speed algorithm development. With the click of a button, users can test different algorithms, visualize data, adjust parameters, and create end-user applications by calling WiT-based image processing and analysis functions directly from Visual Basic or a C/C++ program. The software schedules automatic parallel and pipeline execution on multiple-CPU systems with MMX and assembly-optimized libraries.
