VGASTANAG
VGA to STANAG 3350, RS343 Scan Converter for PCI-104
The VGASTANAG is a scan converter module that accepts non-interlaced VGA signals at up to 1280 x 1024 resolution from any standard graphics card for conversion to high-quality STANAG 3350, RS343 compliant signals. The module is a standard PCI-104 form factor module.
The VGASTANAG features high speed analog signal digitization, video scaling and frame rate conversion and timing generator. This provides seamless and automatic conversion of progressive analog VGA to a STANAG 3350 compliant output as separate red, green, blue signals with the video synchronization pulses embedded in the green signal.
The VGASTANAG is an intelligent stand-alone device with its own on-board CPU and does not require device driver software. It can however be mounted on the PCI-104 stack for mechanical convenience without consuming host CPU resources.
