FlashPoint Intrigue Plus
FlashPoint Intrigue Plus Picture

The FlashPoint video frame grabber line quickly established itself as the industry standard for imaging needs.  The latest addition to the FlashPoint family is here - The Intrigue Plus.

True nondestructive colour key overlay is a distinguishing characteristic of the Intrigue Plus.  Overlay crosshairs, text and other graphics without affecting the live video underneath.

In order to provide the greatest flexibility in system design, the Intrigue Plus features nine composite, three S-Video and four RS-170/CCIR video inputs.   Also standard are camera power output, strobe and multiple I/O triggers.

For the ultimate in video quality, the Intrigue Plus features separate colour and RS-170 input circuitry with LUTs and extremely low pixel jitter.  For the ultimate in accuracy, the Intrigue Plus provides a programmable microcontroller for precise video capture triggering and strobe synchronization.

Continuing the tradition of robust software, the Intrigue Plus features support for Windows 3.1, 95 and NT; standard interfaces such as TWAIN, MCI and DirectDraw; as well as broad industry support from third-party imaging applications.   Available with Intrigue Plus is a comprehensive Software Development Toolkit.

FlashPoint Intrigue Plus.  The next generation in video frame grabbers.
