Aiming to engender new surveillance and other intelligence solutions, Ultraview Corp., Orindam, Calif., has released an acquisition board that can take in 1.25 gigasamples per second and hold up to 8 gigabytes of analog data, about 100 times the storage capability of other boards, according to the company.

A gigasample is a billion audio or video samples per second. The device, which runs on a PCI bus, transfers data to the host at 320 megabytes per second. The package includes interface software for the Solaris 8 operating system and, in early 2003, Linux. The AD8-1250DMA costs $12,955.
