Part Number: 777857-01

The National Instruments PCI-1411 Frame Grabber, identified by part number 777857-01, is a high-performance, single-channel image acquisition device designed for both monochrome and color applications. This module features integrated real-time HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) color conversion, which enhances color matching efficiency. It supports video input formats, including RS-170/NTSC and CCIR/PAL, operating at frame rates of 29.97 frames per second and 25 frames per second, respectively. Output options include 32-bit RGB, 32-bit HSL, and 8-bit formats for R, G, B, H, S, or L channels with square pixel aspect ratios.

The PCI-1411 is equipped with a video input channel capable of processing composite video signals via a BNC connector and Y/C video signals via an S-Video connector, maintaining an input impedance of 75 Ω ± 1%. The module ensures high precision with absolute accuracy for luma and chroma gains within ±2.5% of the readings, while exhibiting minimal temperature drift (<250 ppm/°C). For A/D conversion, it employs an 8-bit 2X oversampling process for both composite video and Y/C (S-Video), with corresponding sampling frequencies of 27.54 MHz for RS-170/NTSC and 29.5 MHz for CCIR/PAL inputs.

Additionally, the PCI-1411 includes 16 MB of onboard synchronous dynamic RAM for temporary frame storage and features three 256 x 8 lookup tables. The module operates as a PCI initiator (master) and target (slave), offering a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 133 MB/s with a sustained rate of 100 MB/s when functioning in the PCI master mode. It requires a power supply of 5 V at 1 A and 12 V at 75 mA, and its physical dimensions are 4.2 inches by 6.9 inches, weighing 0.3 lb. The recommended operating temperature range is from 0 °C to 55 °C with a relative humidity of 5% to 90%, while storage conditions vary from -20 °C to 70 °C. The PCI-1411 Frame Grabber is engineered for durability, featuring a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 839,653 hours.
