The Iosoft ChipVid project is a demonstration of high-speed low-cost
networking; video images are captured using a 'frame grabber' added to the
Microchip PICDEM.net board, as shown above. The raw image data is
transmitted in UDP format over Ethernet at approx. 2 images/sec, the net
data throughput being approx. 2 Mbit/s.

The frame grabber is compatible with both European (625-line) and US
(525-line) composite video signals, and produces good-quality monochrome
images from low-cost monochrome or colour cameras.

The UDP network data is received and displayed by a Windows utility written
in Visual C v6. The above picture is an unretouched screen-grab from that
Windows utility, and shows the frame grabber capturing a picture of itself.

The frame grabber hardware was designed by Iosoft Ltd. The PCB artwork was
produced by Microchip Technology Inc., and has been released for general
non-profit use.
