Thank you for your decision to purchase a frame grabber of IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH. This manual describes the operation mode of:

•FALCON and FALCON Express

•FALCONplus and FALCONplus Express

•FALCONquattro and FALCONquattro Express

•FALCON LP and FALCON LP Express

•EAGLE

They are summarized in following by the denotation FALCON/EAGLE.

The FALCON/EAGLE are great value 32 bit frame grabbers for industrial, medical and multimedia applications in monochrome and color. Video sources with S-VHS (YC) and CVBS outputs (composite video) are supported. The data transmission to the PC or to the VGA board is carried out via a DMA transfer in burst mode and therefore places only a very small load (if any) on the CPU. The images are available in 24 bit true color quality.

In order to help you use the FALCON/EAGLE in your own programs, an SDK (software development kit) is available for download from our website. Programming of the FALCON or EAGLE with this SDK is identical with a few functions/exceptions which are mentioned especially.

Read the file WhatsNew.txt. Here you can find additional information, which are possibly not contained in this edition of the manual.
