Based on the I-Series superior performance architecture, I-RGB guarantees high speed video streaming See streaming video and video stream. from RGB video sources as well as the exceptional image accuracy that is associated with Foresight Imaging products. Streaming video from cardiac imaging video sources using I-RGB is being demonstrated publicly for the first time in booth #670 at the American Heart Association exhibition from November 13-15 in New Orleans. "Our I-Series frame grabbers and video streamers have been extremely popular in a wide array of medical applications including cardiology, endoscopy, ophthalmology, radiology, and much more. Many of these customers have requested a high speed, extremely accurate RGB addition to the I-Series family. I-RGB satisfies these requirements, and solves applications involving inputs from medical modalities as high as 75 MHz," said Tony Molinari, Vice President, Marketing & Business Development. About I-RGB I-RGB delivers the highest accuracy RGB video images and guaranteed high speed video streaming. I-RGB is available in three models: I-RGB 25, I-RGB 50, and I-RGB 75. These support pixel input rates up to 25 MHz, 50 MHz, and 75 MHz respectively. Each accepts one RGB video input from non-standard and standard video sources. Video digitization is 24 bit RGB and color video formats include RGB 8:8:8 and YUV 4:2:2. Contributing to its superior accuracy, I-RGB features extremely low pixel jitter of +/-1.0 ns and a signal-to-noise ratio of 47 dB. Powered by high speed PCI bus mastering, scatter-gather technology, and double buffering, I-RGB supports 120+ MB/second sustained PCI bus transfers to accommodate the most demanding video streaming applications. I-RGB supports simultaneous real-time display via real-time transfer of images directly to display card Same as display adapter. memory. Software Support I-RGB is supported by Auto-SYNC, Foresight Imaging's revolutionary automated configuration software. Auto-SYNC automatically analyzes the incoming non-standard or standard video signal and configures the frame grabber to acquire high precision images from that video source. As a member of the I-Series of frame grabbers and video streamers, I-RGB is supported by the IDEA(TM) (Imaging Development Environment for Applications) software development kit. IDEA supports both the I-Series and HI*DEF(TM) product families so that once an application is written with IDEA, users have support for all I-Series and HI*DEF boards without re-writing their software. Extensive example programs (with source code) for acquisition, video streaming (with or without compression), graphics overlays, and more are included with each I-RGB board. Common Vision Blox, Image-Pro Plus, Optimas, and TWAIN drivers are available for higher-level application requirements. Pricing and Availability I-RGB product shipments are expected in February 2001. Pricing starts at $1,436 in 100 piece quantities.
