QuadGrabber Quad D1 Video Frame Grabber for PC/104- P l u s systems The QuadGrabber is a high-performance 4-channel video capture and overlay controller on a single PC/104-Plus form factor. The QuadGrabber provides a powerful and flexible solution for capturing up to four concurrent analog video inputs for local system display or software analysis and processing, ideal for embedded Situational Awareness systems in the most demanding environment. Live Frame Capture up to 4 full size D1 PAL/NTSC/RS170 video inputs at full frame rate. The QuadGrabber allows each of the 4 video channels to be captured at full D1 size, all at full frame rate. The video can be scaled, cropped and positioned under software control. In addition to the video capture the QuadGrabber also provides capture of up to 4 mono audio sources. The captured video data can be streamed continuously to system memory or disk for either immediate local display or further processing. The capture engine of the QuadGrabber features hardware color space conversion to present the captured video data in the format best suited to the end application.

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER
Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.
Applied Materials
CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS
Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.

TERRIFIC RESOURCE
This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

GO TO SOURCE
When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
