Picolo is a very low-cost PCI frame grabber optimized for single camera applications. It supports the acquisition and the real-time transfer of full resolution color images or sequences of images to the PC memory. Picolo captures one or two composite video signals and one S-Video signal. The square-pixel resolution (640 x 480 or 768 x 576) is achieved at full frame rate (30 or 25 fps).

Picolo is the ideal frame grabber for cost-sensitive applications in the fields of machine vision, access control, x-ray inspection.
