Key Features

Capture any VGA signal at up to 2048x2048 resolution
Up to 60 frames per second depending on content being captured
Encased in solid aluminum
Used for RADAR imaging, ATC/ATM images, remote security monitoring, control room displays and other applications that require a high level of precision
Interfaces to multiple 3rd party applications compatible with DirectShow on Windows, QuickTime on Mac OS X and V4L (Video4Linux) on Linux
Available in compact form factor, internal card or packaged with multiple units in a rackmount system

Encased in solid aluminum, this device uses the most advanced Epiphan custom FPGA and advanced ADC in order to achieve pixel rates of 270 Megapixels per second, on board cropping, integrated color space conversion, USB Transfer Accelerator™, and Compression Booster Filters™. This is Epiphan Systems’ most powerful USB 2.0 VGA frame grabber.

Epiphan's custom FPGA performs lossless compression on board, thus increasing USB bus utilization efficiency, throughput and effective frame rates. With VGA2USB Pro lossless 2048 x 2048 with 30 fps is achievable in the majority of applications.

In military, scientific, industrial, and educational applications which require the capture of a VGA signal in ultra-high precision, the VGA2USB Pro is the frame grabber of choice.

While being the same physical size as the other devices in the VGA2USB family, the VGA2USB Pro provides the user with a sharp and diagnostic-quality picture at any given resolution.

An SDK, WDM drivers, and DirectShow API is included for those users that need to integrate the VGA2USB Pro into their custom applications.
