A Frame Grabber is a PC board that converts an analog video signal to a digital signal. This creates individual pictures or frames that the software can then retrieve and analyze. PC-DMIS Vision supports multiple Frame Grabbers as the video data input. The Frame Grabber delivers the live image from your analog camera to the Live View in PC-DMIS.
Digital cameras act as a combined camera and frame grabber since they already provide the video image data in digital form.
You need to install and configure the vendor-specific software for your camera or frame grabber before PC-DMIS Vision can process the camera's images. Digital cameras use configuration files provided by the factory to match the camera behavior with the machine and the PC.
