PHANTA TM
PRODUCT BRIEF
The PHANTA product family is designed for Camera Linkcameras where the captured images need to be distributed
to more than one frame grabbers. Applications include
intensive parallel image processing, image monitoring andreal time image analysis. All products support maximum
pixel clock rate at 85MHz. Three options are available foruser’s applications. 1) 1-to-4 splitter for full/medium/baseconfiguration. 2) Two integrated 1-to-4 splitters for baseconfiguration. 3) 1-to-8 splitter for base configuration. Amaster frame grabber can be designated by user to control
and configure the camera. Image data and camera control
signals are independently controlled by DIP switches or via
COM port of a PC. All image data will be transmitted to allframe grabbers synchronously and identically.
