Video display is achieved though a software technique.
Each of our frame grabbers comes with sample software that illustrates this technique. You can run our code on your system and check the speed, and you can also feel free to use our code as a starting point for your own application. Whether the display is real time or not depends on your processor speed, vga card, and operating system. In general, an 8-bit monochrome image will usually display in real time on most modern computers. However, in the case of very large images or 24-bit color images, the answer is not quite as simple since the amount of data is much greater.
