Multi-facet video capture with UHD clarity
Zebra® Clarity UHD is a comprehensive video capture card supporting the full range of video formats from standard definition (SD) to high definition (HD) all the way to ultra-high definition (UHD). Mini DisplayPort® , HD-BNC, HDMI® , and custom analog DVI1 connectivity are provided to hook up to and switch between the different types of legacy and advanced video sources used in medical, surveillance, and simulation-training applications. System setup and management are further simplified with the board’s automatic video source presence and format detection. Zebra Clarity UHD can simultaneously acquire multiple streams— such as eight HD (1080p60) or two 4K UHD (2160p60) video streams—and reliably transfer these off-board using its efficient PCIe® 2.0 x8 host interface.
Benefits of the Clarity UHD Frame Grabber
- Capture from Legacy to High-Def - Clarity UHD capture cards support video formats from SD to HD all the way to UHD. Switch easily between different types of legacy and advanced video sources used in medical and simulation-training applications.
- Offload Video Pre-Processing Tasks - In addition to video capture, Clarity UHD offloads video pre-processing tasks such as scaling, compositing, and de-interlacing from the host processor. Pre-processing is designed to keep up with the board’s multi-stream acquisition ability.
- Handle Multiple Video Sources - Handle multiple video sources with the simultaneous capture of up to eight HD or two UHD streams. Clarity UHD does onboard multi-stream H.264 encoding to optimize video transmission and storage.
Additional Software Features
- Aurora Imaging Library, formerly Matrox Imaging Library, machine-vision software development kit (SDK) has a deep collection of tools for image capture, processing, analysis, annotation, display, and archiving. Code-level customization starts here.
- Aurora Design Assistant, formerly Matrox Design Assistant, integrated development environment (IDE) is a flowchart-based platform for building applications, with templates to speed up development and bring vision applications online quicker.
