Special thanks to Eric Boerner and lilo (the person, not the HOWTO and to everyone else who sent in updates and feedbacks. Many things here are shamelessly stolen from their works toįRiC, Zane Healy and Ed Carp, the original authors of this Thanks to all the authors and contributors of other HOWTO's, Recent versions of this document contained the following: (sometime in 1997) and continued to maintain this document until Miss him from IRC, I might add), Patrick Reijnen took over Off the face of the planet in late 1995 or early 1996 (and we all In August of 1994, FRiC (Boy of Destiny) took over. Wrote the first version, but in 1993 Ed Carp was maintaining it. This document has passed through many hands. (Would a USB-attached hard drive go under "USB", "Removableĭrives", "Hard drives", or all of the above?)Īnd, of course, random hardware that just isn't listed inĪll of this is going to require a lot of work. Newer interfaces such as USB need to be added into the list. Lists in this HOWTO that are available in other HOWTOs orįAQs need to be either updated here or dropped completely

Video devices (capture boards, frame grabbers, TV tuners, etc.) 28.7. VESA Power Savings Protocol (DPMS) monitors 28.3.
The SDK provides high level APIs for sophisticated buffer management and low-level direct access to the board for speedy custom control.Table of Contents 1. The Neon-DIF can acquire from just about anything and efficiently DMA the data into host memory.Īdding the Neon-DIF to your application is simple with our SDK, which supports both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. There are still a tremendous number of devices that output differential data that may not even be cameras. The Neon-DIF is not just for legacy situations, however. The Neon-DIF can handle all of these situations.
Finally, customers who want to port their application to 64-bit Windows are finding that their differential frame grabbers are not supported on newer operating systems. Motherboards with PCI slots are getting harder and harder to find.
Another niche that this product fills is differential applications where the PC needs upgrading, but the frame grabber has a PCI interface. The target markets are applications where the current frame grabber is no longer available but the camera and application are still important. The Neon-DIF is designed for the OEM customer looking for the performance of the PCI Express bus, a differential interface, and one of the lowest price points in the industry. The Neon-DIF captures images at speeds up to the camera’s highest frame/data rate, with precision image acquisition suitable for the most demanding applications. Simplify your industrial, medical, or semiconductor imaging application with BitFlow’s Neon-DIF, the easiest to use and most reliable differential frame grabber available anywhere.
