Pcie frame grabber/capture card

Could anyone suggest a compatible (v4l support) frame grabber/capture card.
main concerns are that i dont have to write a driver/api for this card (instead i want to jump right in to writing some capture code), linux compatability and it must be PCIe x1 to x16 should be fine.
Any input connection, though I dont think i can do much with dvb-t/terrestrial..
Thank you!

All input sources are acceptable dvb-t/terrestrial.
Analogue/S-video/composite/vga/DVI/HDMI are all good
PCIe is mandatory, yes.
Cheers ;D
P.S. The frame grabber will be used to test my rtp project

My acer aspire x1935 does not recognize my pcie express hdmi capture card

my acer aspire x1935 dose not recognize my pci express hdmi hd capture card. it works fine on a win XP sp3 machinewith a gigabite motherboard and a amd processor. I updated the bios and it still dosent recognize it as a multimedia card in the device driver. I have Windows 7 homeedition 64 bit with a intell I3 processor.

Regarding my x1935, I have tried a safe mode boot, I also tried reinstalling acers window 7 backup downloaded and reinstalled acers motherboard drivers and flashed the bios to the latest version and still the HDMI hd dvr capture card is not detected by windowws 7. Can some one help...
I have been working on this problem for the last two weeks and its very frustrating.

I am using PCI-6033E IO card and i would like to send 5 volts (high logic ) to the trigger box. the trigger box will trigger the frame grabber card, that i am using for image acquisition.

Hello;
The first thing you need to figure out is the shape of the trigger pulse needed.
In case you just need a logic high TTL pulse, you can use one of the digital lines of your DAQ device.
In case you need a pulse train (multiple trigger pulses), you will need to configure one of the general purpose counters to accomplish that task.
You can find examples in both Labview and NI-DAQ showing how to program your DAQ board to accomplish both approaches.
Hope this helps.

What is the BEST cable connection from Canopus ADVC 300 to Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card?

I must connect an ADVC 300 to a Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card. For best quality, which cable should I use?
On the ADVC 300 there are outputs of firewire, S-VHS and RCA.
On BMPro it's a little confusing. On the breakout cable there are connectors that say:
-5 B-Y OUT
-4 Y OUT
-3-R-Y OUT
-7-R-Y IN
-8-Y IN
-9 B-Y IN
-15 AUDIO IN RIGHT
-10 AES/EBU OUT
-12 AUDIO LEFT OUT
-14 AUDIO LEFT OUT
-13 AUDIO RIGHT OUT
With the BMPro, there is also a separate, shorter cable. On one end it looks like S-VHS and on the other there are two connectors, one black and one blue.
On the actual BMPro Express card strip instead of using the breakout cable, there is HDMI IN (and HDMI OUT).
How should I connect this? Is there an adapter cable of FIREWIRE TO HDMI?
Any help is much appreciated.

Well, when I researched how best to digitize VHS (into Final Cut Pro 7), I learned two of the best devices to use are BMPro and Canopus ADVC 300. I’m using the ADVC 300 for the built-in time base corrector. I definitely want to use that to stabilize the video. I also read how well BMPro improves image quality. So, I thought to use the two together must produce outstanding quality (well, as good as VHS can be).
Perhaps I got confused into thinking I can use both. But the BMPro appears to have an S-VHS adapter.
I guess I’m wondering what is better quality:
Run the firewire from the Canopus ADVC 300 converter directly into the firewire port on the Mac Pro
Or, run an S-VHS cable from the Canopus ADVC 300 into the BMPro Capture card
(I should mention that I have purchased all these items and already have the BMPro Card installed so at this point it’s not a cost issue, but rather an issue of simply which works best?)

PCI Video Capture Cards for PowerPC?

Hi, I have a few PowerPC macs and I want to record some videogame game play via svideo (composite if svideo isn't an option) on them via a PCI capture card. Can anyone give me a few recommendations for cards to purchase? I do not want a USB or Firewire capture device, and it needs to be real time because I would be playing it through my monitor as it records. Preferably OS9 AND OSX compatible, though either or is perfectly fine. I don't care what format it records in or the compression, as I can deal with that later. Thanks.

Be careful to get a money back guarantee on any Avid Video capture cards. I assisted a wedding videographer who spent seventeen thousand dollars on an elaborate capture and editing system based on NuBus cards for 8100 PPCs and the company never got it to work properly without constant crashing. I am sure that Avid has gone on to produce some quality equipment based on lessons learned in the 1990s but that 8100 generation of cards was worthless.
I am interested in doing the same thing you are looking for so I will post back with what I find. Just avoid being the guinea pig for some company who does not have the details worked out.

PCI video capture cards needed for mdd...

Hi guys,
just want to get opions about pci video capture cards out there that can be used on a MDD running either 9.2.2 or X Tiger.
I basically need to transfer old analog Hi8 video to DV format. and the default card doesn't have video in/out.
I don't might purchasing software that may be required... either old or new, or if iMovie is enough just tell me if it is required to support the HD.
thanks

NI PCIe-1433 Camera Link frame grabber programming using VC++

Hello, I have a Basler Camera Link-compatible camera and they use the NI PCIe-1433 Camera Link frame grabber as the image acquisition device.
Right now, I want to develop some applications on that camera and need to do programming on the NI PCIe-1433 by VC++.
So I want to know where I can find the software development kit for the NI PCIe-1433. For example, I can control the camera to grab the image by using the different functions(such as imgGrab(), or somthing like that ) from that software development kit.If there are some sample code that would be better.

Hi Wrsbj,
The IMAQ functions that you mentioned are contained in the IMAQ driver, which is used to acquire from Camera Link frame grabbers. I would also check the compatibility chart, to make sure that you get the version you need. As for example programs, you can take a look at this KnowledgeBase article concerning building and running the IMAQ examples in VC++.

KONA LSe PCIe SD capture card.

Hello there...
Just wanted to pick your brains... I've just finished a long run of work and the boss wants to sort out the edit suite and see if we can improve overall performance etc...
One of the things that was recommended to him by another editor was to invest in a KONA LSe PCIe SD capture card... which sounds all very good but we only shoot on DVcam...
However, even though we won't capture any 10/8 bit uncompressed, am i right in thinking the card would be useful in handling effects etc, therefore reducing the strain/workload on the processors?
In a nutshell... is there any advantage to installing this card, even though we NEVER capture uncompressed media?
Thanks for your opinions.
J,

Increased performance? Render handling? RT effects? Not if you capture DV via firewire. You might get slight performance improvements with footage you captured with the card, but it will not enhance anything, really. Definately not firewire captures. The HD cards do some load bearing processing for HDV and DVCPRO HD, but nothing considerable.
If you capture, edit, and output DV, there is no reason to get this card.

X1935 cand find my Timeleak HD72b pcie capture card.

I have a aspire x1935 desktop. I read all the help files in the discussions about not finding the pcie card.I added a password in the american megatrends bios and It dosent change the security in the bios. I upgradedthe bios to A2. I reinstalled windows 7 and the acer drivers. still no discovery of the pcie card. I finally nstalledthe drivers for the device using the Legacy intaller. Now I get this error : the device cannot start (code 10). am I missing a acer driver for pcie or bios driver? How do I cure this problem. (The device works fine on a gigabyte board) I would appreiate anyones help before this computer turns into a boat anchor. Robert

Regarding my x1935, I have tried a safe mode boot, I also tried reinstalling acers window 7 backup downloaded and reinstalled acers motherboard drivers and flashed the bios to the latest version and still the HDMI hd dvr capture card is not detected by windowws 7. Can some one help...

How to remove noise on images acquire from Digital 8 VCR to PCI-1409 frame grabber ?

I have some constant noise in the form of a discontinuous white horizontal line running accross the top of images which were grabbed from a digital 8 video signal. I have tried all the settings in MAX to remove these and have check the integrity of my connections, but to no avail ?

Kyle,
I found that adjusting the acqu window did the trick.
It seems that all the video i have on Digital 8 tapes gives me the same problem. When i use the camera directly to the frame grabber there is no problem.
In due course i'll try another camera with the Dig 8 VCR and compare these output picture quality.
Thanks for the advice,
Fraser

Dropped Frames on Capture/ Adding extra USB buses to a G5

Hello,
I am having trouble with dropped frames on capture. It is a problem I have dealt with many times. I always try to capture my media to some sort of external drive; It always seems to work fine until the drive fills up(to about 20 GB left), and then I start to get dropped frames problems. I've tried freeing up space on the drive, but once it starts it seems that even freeing up space doesn't fix the problem. I was told that adding a USB bus can fix this problem -OR- You can add an extra internal storage drive to the G5. Once upon a time I did the latter and it worked, but now I can not even capture onto my extra internal drive?
My capture attempts seem to get about 5 minutes before I get dropped frames.
Do you think that installing an extra Bus could fix this problem? If so what kind of Bus should I look for for a PowerMac G5?
I am running FCP 4.5, Mac OSX 3.9, Quicktime 7(In the past this has not been an issue), I am using a Power Mac G5- two 160GB internal drives.
Much Thanks in Advance, the Help is always fantastic around here,
Justin

A USB bus or a FW bus?
Because USB drives are not fast enough to sustain capture.
Adding a PCI Firewire card from a place like Sonnettech may work.

Need information on USB frame grabber Labview compatible (planning to buy)

Hello all,
I am looking USB based frame grabbers which are compatible with LabVIEW only. I need atleast 50 frames/sec acquisition rate. I am using PULNIX P2013P analog or monochrome CCIR camera with LabVIEW 8.2 version. Please suggest me any of such frame grabbers even third party products if they are available and also only compatible with LabVIEW.
regards
visu

There are no USB frame grabber cards provided by NI. The only form factors that are supported for frame grabbers are PCI, PCI-e and the PXI platform. If you are interested in using USB cameras, then all you need is NI-IMAQ for USB driver (the driver is not officially supported by NI) and a USB camera that is supported by the driver.

Analogue capture card recommendations?

I would like to import some old VHS/Hi-8 analogue tapes into my Mac and edit them in iMovie (if I get the bug them maybe FCE). Any recommendations for a suitable capture card?
I have a late 2005 PowerMac, so a PCI card would be preferable, but not essential.
Any recommendations?
Thanks
Mark

Simpler and more flexable would be the use of an external Analog/DV converter.
Canopus and Datavideo make reasonable ones. Look into the Canopus ADVC300 - it has a time based corrector built in which is very important in cleaning up mistimed frames (the 'tearing' effect you see)
Cheers,

Capture card specifications

What specifications should be met for an image / video capture card, such that I will know that it works with Labview?
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you referring to a frame grabber for a camera? If you want to know whether a non-NI frame grabber can be used with Labview, see this KB: Can I Use My Third-Party Frame Grabber with the IMAQ VIs?
