The VICA-3DxL is available in PCI formats. It comes with three video inputs (Composite and S-Video), one I/O and flash sync trigger, and is fully compatible with entire line of 3Dx products. The Lite also features an aggressive price point for absolute cost-critical applications.

The VICA-3DxL is the sister high-performance, low-cost frame grabber to the VICA-3DxP. The aggressive price point of this board makes it attractive to practically all cost-critical applications.

The VICA-3DxL incorporates an on-board 3Dx accelerator and 8 MB of fast SGRAM. Its 128-bit memory interface is capable of running at speeds up to 125 MHz, allowing for display resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 85 Hz.

VICA-3DxL supports nondestructive overlay of text and graphics on live video. This enables applications that require crosshairs, selector boxes, or other objects to be displayed on live video while the underlying video is cleanly captured or displayed. Its independent control of the graphics and video color depth allows efficient memory usage that supports the simultaneous display and capture of high-resolution video (up to 768 x 576) on a high-resolution desktop (up to 1280 x 1024).

VICA-3DxL multiplexes up to 3 composite/RS-170 and 1 S-Video inputs in both NTSC and PAL formats, and will support the capture of non-interlaced video from progressive scan cameras. Video is displayed full-screen or in a resizable window, and can be adjusted (offset and gain) to the desired levels through software controlled video amplifiers. Very low pixel jitter ensures accurate representation of horizontal detail.

VICA-3DxL allows for simultaneous display of CRT and TV by incorporating an integrated video encoder. Both a composite and S-Video output is provided in NTSC and PAL formats. Flicker reduction is possible with a programmable flicker filter.

To control external devices or cameras, the VICA-3DxL has been designed with multiple I/O or camera interface controls. A software controlled, optically isolated contact closure circuit enables triggering a strobe for synchronizing illumination to a digitized video frame. A general purpose input trigger and TTL output trigger allow for synchronization of image acquisition to external events.
