Figure 5: Video source and Frame Grabber

To get the signal from the video source to the Frame Grabber you

connect the two devices with the appropriate cable. In most cases

the cable you need comes in the package with your Frame

Grabber.
For example, if your video source is VESA-compatible VGA

source and if you want to capture images with a resolution of up

to 1600 x 1200 at a frame rate of 30 frames a second then you

could choose a VGA2USB HR or VGA2USB Pro. Both of these

Frame Grabbers ship with the VGA video cable and adapters that

you need to connect the video source directly to your Frame

Grabber.
