Epiphan Systems Inc. announced today that two additions to their DVI2USB line of frame grabbers, the DVI2USB Solo and DVI2USB Duo, are now ready for shipping.
As part of the only external DVI frame grabber line on the market, the DVI2USB Solo, is intended as a solution for those who would like to capture lossless images from single-link DVI sources, while the DVI2USB Duo is made for those that have dual-link DVI capture in mind. Being up to 1920x1200 for DVI2USB Solo and 2048x2048 for DVI2USB Duo, both devices have capture rates of 30 frames per second at any supported DVI resolution.
Making them perfect for those that need to capture the high-quality and high-resolution picture that you would expect from a DVI source, both devices employ Epiphan's revolutionary lossless compression technology. The user, just like with the rest of Epiphan's frame grabbers, is able to capture to still image as well as AVI movie, broadcast the captured image over the internet, and print or record the captured image with the touch of a button using Epiphan's VGA Printer and VGA Recorder products.
Their ability to capture 100% lossless diagnostic-quality images at a capture rate of up to 30 frames per second, is what sets the DVI2USB Solo and Duo apart from other frame grabbers on the market. Compressing the stream on-the-fly, the DVI2USB Duo is able to transfer images at up to 330 megapixels a second, meaning that the captured images are translated from the source to the destination machine without any delay.Including Windows and Unix machines, scientific and lab equipment, medical hardware, embedded devices, and more, both devices are able to capture from any source that is VESA-compatible. What's more, the DVI2USB devices are extremely easy to use and can be mastered in a matter of minutes. However, altough capture software is available as a free download from Epiphan Systems' website, virtually any other software made for capturing video or still images is compatible, because both devices employ WDM drivers.
Both the DVI2USB Solo and DVI2USB Duo devices are lightweight and portable, yet made with rugged, aluminum casing, similar to the rest of the devices in Epiphan's VGA2USB and DVI2USB line of frame grabbers. The DVI2USB Solo weighs in at just 90 grams and is about the size of a small box of paperclips. The DVI2USB Duo, meanwhile, has the weight of 300 grams and is about the size of a small paperback novel. Both devices can be transferred between different sources with ease because of their compact design.
