Need to replace a pci-1405 frame grabber with a more modern solution

We implemented a application 4 years ago that uses 55 analog NTSC cameras connected to a 64:1 video Mux: The mux output channel is routed to a pci-1405 framgraber. The 1405 has stopped acquiring images and needs to be replaced.


 


Since NI has obsoleted all analog frame grabbers and no longer supports them we would like to move to a digital solution.


We are willing to update the software and computer hardware but are unable to change the cameras and Mux at this time.


 


I am looking for a converter that will take the NTSC signal from the Mux and convert it to a digital imaging signal compatable with Imaq or Imaqdx.


 


Does anyone have any recomendations on a good converter or any other advice.


 


Thanks

Mark,

I had a similar need to replace a PCI-1405 about a year ago and found a product called PixelPusher at eyetalksystems.com that connects through a USB port.  It has some LabVIEW support.  I was able to get it to work without too much trouble.  Ultimately the project ended up going all digital so I never got beyond the demonstration stage with PixelPusher.
