Characteristics and functions of frame grabbers include:

Analog-to-digital conversion:
Converts analog video signals into digital format for processing and storage.

Image capture: Captures individual frames or sequences of frames from a continuous video stream.

Real-time processing: Allows for real-time processing, analysis, and storage of captured images or video frames.

Compatibility: Interfaces with standard video interfaces such as Composite Video, S-Video, HDMI, or Camera Link, depending on the application and requirements.

Frame grabbers are commonly used in applications requiring high-speed imaging, precise timing, or synchronization, such as machine vision, medical imaging, microscopy, industrial inspection, and scientific research. They enable computers and imaging systems to acquire and process high-quality digital images or video data from various imaging devices efficiently.
