The EPIX XCAP-Lite is a ready-to-run image analysis software for PIXCI frame grabbers. It allows you to load, view, and save images and sequences to and from files when the frame grabber is present and open for use (multiple frame grabbers can be used at the same time too). It also lets you export customized video formats and camera serial commands to assist programming the frame grabbers via the XCLIB "C" library.

XCAP is designed to augment the functions of PIXCI frame grabbers by putting image processing power at your control. It offers simple-to-use menus and dialogs that allow you to easily complete basic or complex imaging tasks. XCAP and PIXCI frame grabbers seamlessly integrate popular cameras with numerous functions, such as capture and display, video enhancement and psuedo-color, examination of image details, graphical annotation, programmable resolution, and more. (Some functions are dependent on hardware options or the version of the PIXCI card.)

XCAP has a Java-based UI combined with efficient "C" and assembler image processing routines, and its multi-threading capability allows virtually unlimited views, graphs, and analyses of one or multiple images. Built-in tools allow simultaneous presentation and manipulation of multiple images of varying resolutions and pixel formats. XCAP features a scripting language and non-procedural "spread sheet" programming for automating image analysis and inspection tasks, and can also be remotely controlled from other applications through scripts.
