agree  rkillings: But I'd have said 'card' (for 'carte'), not 'board'. Yes, it is a circuit board, but more specifically, it's a PCI card.
21 hrs
  -> It is a PCI card, of course. My brain (UK trained, following EN-US rules in written manuals, result: occasional confusion) used what came naturally & a copy of CL's suggestion.

disagree  Tony M: Not necessarily the same thing at all / 'frame grabber' implies freezing a single frame; this is not the same thing, it is for 'live' video; the translation may SOMETIMES be correct, but should not be considered a direct 1:1 equivalent
1 hr
  -> please explain the difference. It comes up very often as a direct translation...
neutral  Charles Hawtrey (X): The IP-1405 doc. states 'Unlike multimedia "frame grabbers," the PCI-1405 features increased image acquisition throughput and processing...' in the Overview.
