mvSIGMA-SQ/-SQe

4 channel multistandard frame grabber
16 CVBS/gray inputs
16 digital-In, 8 digital-Out
Standard PCI ( SQ ) and PCI Express® ( SQe ) versions available
Ideal solution for multi channel acquisition or split screen display in surveillance applications

The mvSIGMA-SQ / -SQe is a four channel frame grabber for standard color or gray scale video signals. The 16 video inputs can be switched independently to each of the four channels. This makes it a product optimally suited for surveillance applications, either for live display of multiple inputs in parallel or by its ability to capture up to four video signals at the same time. The digital I/Os match the need to connect alarm input and output devices to the system. The optional watchdog ensures the reliabilty of the application by the ability to restart a system.
