XMC-270 High-Performance Frame Grabber

The XMC-270 is a VITA 42.3, PCI Express® XMC form factor, ruggedized, high-performance video frame grabber with output capability. The XMC-270 supports high resolution digital and analog, including legacy interlaced analog video formats. It's based on the Xilinx® Virtex®-5, a high performance Field Programmable Gate Array with advanced serial connectivity and a built in PCI Expess core.
