Problem:
Which National Instruments frame grabber cards support hardware scaling?

Solution:
Hardware scaling is a feature implemented in the circuitry of a framegrabber card that allows the physical size of an image to be manipulated before it is returned to the user by the driver. Since this is a hardware feature and not software scaling, the user will not see any performance degradation or loss of frame rate while the image is resized.

Select National Instruments image acquisition frame grabber cards support hardware scaling of an image. Hardware scaling is only supported by our second generation frame grabber cards that are listed below. Third generation and later frame grabber cards do not support hardware scaling.

You can determine the firmware revision of your card by looking at the revision letter in the part number. For example, a particular PCI-1428's part number is 186856D-01. This is revision D, or the 4th revision of the card.
