mvSIGMA-SLC

4 input multistandard gray scale/color frame grabber
Fast switching between asynchronous cameras
General purpose frame grabber with optimum features for surveillance applications
Digital I/Os for alarm signals

The mvSIGMA-SLC is a frame grabber for standard color or gray scale video signals. Optimized teamwork of hard- and software allows fast switching between asynchronous cameras. In surveillance applications the digital I/Os match the need to connect alarm input and output devices to the system.
