recommended especially for high resolution and high frame rate
applications because USB 2.0 supports much higher data transfer

capture workstation.
The video capture workstation
The video capture workstation is a personal computer running a
supported operating system such as Windows (2000, XP or Vista),
Mac OS X Panther, or supported versions of Linux. For video
capture workstation system requirements see Chapter 2. “System
Requirements” on page 11 .
Figure 6: Video source, Frame Grabber and video capture
workstation
To be a video capture workstation the PC must include a USB
device driver that can receive images from Epiphan Frame
Grabbers. The video capture workstation must also include video
capture application software for processing captured images
according to your requirements. For example, you may want the
video capture application software to display captured images or
you may also want to record and print captured images, or you
may want to share captured images by broadcasting them across
the Internet to a remote location.
An Epiphan Frame Grabber is compatible with Windows, Mac
OS X Panther or Linux PC platforms. The video capture
workstation components are similar on each of these platforms. A
