mvGAMMA-G
Discontinued

- Versatile, low cost, multistandard gray scale frame grabber
- Large local memory for safe image transfer on heavy load systems
- Local image processor for flexible acquisition control
The low cost mvGAMMA-G grabber uses also the proven processor and PCI interface technology of the mvTITAN family. In combination with highly integrated analog front end it shows an excellent price to performance ration. For low to mid gray scale acquisition the mvGAMMA-G delivers an unequaled solution. Due to the large local memory you'll never again lose data caused by temporary PCI bus overloads, even when using multiple boards in one system. It's suitable for all areas of gray scale vision applications working with analog image sources.

Since version 2.10.1 of mvIMPACT Acquire the "Merge Modules for mvIMPACT Acquire" are available as a separate download.
For this reason the installation packages are smaller now. The Merge Modules are needed for private setup routines, which shall include mvIMPACT Acquire drivers. More details are available in the mvIMPACT Acquire manuals.
Older driver versions
To be able to watch or download the drivers, you have to be registered or logged in.
Since version 1.10.69, the DirectShow® driver is part of the mvIMPACT Acquire installation package.
Since version 1.10.85, an interface to VisionPro® (Cognex) will be installed automatically when installing an MSI based mvIMPACT Acquire driver package.
mvIMPACT Acquire bindings for HALCON are available on MVTec's website: http://www.halcon.de/download/
