DCSG

DCSG Features

• Maximum resolution: 640H x 480V pixels
• Color and monochrome versions
• Direct digital information from the imagers, bypasses analog noise and frame grabber jitter
• Conforms to Digital Camera Specification version 1.30.
• Single cable interface for power, data, and control
• External synchronization - all DCSG devices on the same IEEE 1394 bus are synchronized to capture images at the same time
• Subsampling modes (decimation) for smaller frame sizes, faster frame rates, lower noise
• Electronic gain and exposure
• All modes fully under user control via the IEEE 1394 bus
• Milled solid aluminum allow body for extreme rigidity
• Accepts standard C/CS-mount lenses

DCSG Kit Contents

• DCSG stereo head, color or monochrome
• 6.0 mm C/CS mount locking lenses standard; other lenses available as options
• DCAM development kit for MS Windows 2000/XP or Linux 2.4/2.6
• Hardware and Software Manuals

DCSG Requirements

• Pentium-compatible PC (Pentium MMX, AMD K6-2 or better) running MS Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP or Linux 2.4 kernel 
• IEEE 1394 PCI or PCMCIA card with a free port, and a 6-pin cable*. IEEE 1394 card must supply 1 W of power through the 6-pin cable. Most PCI cards do this. PCMCIA cards must have a separate transformer power input.

* Items are available from Videre Design, see Ordering
