Alternatively, an analog video-to-USB frame grabber (as shown in Figure 2) may be used to
display the camera’s output video. In this case, the RS-170 feed from the camera or interface box
is connected to an analog video-to-USB frame grabber. To display the video on screen please
follow the instructions that came with your analog-to-USB frame grabber.
The frame grabber allows the user to capture video or images and analyze or view them later.
