Analog PCIe-RTV24 / PCI-RTV24 4-CH PCI Express(R) / PCI Real-time Video Capture Cards for Standard Cameras Introduction General The PCIe-RTV24/PCI-RTV24 acquisition board are designed without compromise for machine vision and video surveillance applications. They are the ideal devices for PC-based multiple-channel vision application. The PCIe-RTV24 PCI Express(R) x1 lane frame grabber can capture simultaneously four analog video streams in real time. It accepts standard composite colors (PAL, NTSC) or monochrome video formats (CCIR, EIA). PCIe-RTV24 The supported resolution is programmable and includes square-pixel (640 x 480 or 768 x 576) and broadcast resolution. Before captured images are transferred to the PC's memory, images can be scaled down using available selectable ratios. PCI-RTV24 Arbitrary cropping to regions of interest is possible. The PCIe-RTV24 generates bitmaps in all popular color formats such as RGB, YUV, planar, or packed. System integrators also benefit from a watchdog for fault-tolerant applications and easy-to-use standard connectors. Grayscale Camera Color Camera Analog Features PCI Express(R) x1 compliant (PCIe-RTV24) , up to 120 fps Four color video digitizers operating in parallel Color (PAL / NTSC), monochrome (CCIR / EIA) camera supported Up to 16 channels extension On-board TTL I/O lines Built-in watchdog timer User-friendly ViewCreator utility Software trigger supported Applications PC-based surveillance systems Digital Video Recorder (DVR) Factory monitoring systems Machine vision inspection systems Scientific research instrumentations Medical research instrumentations Image Acquisition Frame Rate: 30 full-frame images acquired per second for each channel (at RGB16 mode) Color Image: Color video format is compatible with the following composite video input formats: NTSC-M, NTSC-Japan, PCL-B, PALD, PAL-G, PAL-H, PAL-I, PAM-M, PAL-N and SECAM Monochrome Image: The monochrome video acquisition is compatible with CCIR and EIA (RS-170). Optional Scaling: The acquire images or portions of images can be optionally scaled: * Acquisition of a programmable area of interest * Scaling of the image (down to 1:16) * Adjustment of hue (for NTSC signals), contrast (0 to 200%), brightness and saturation (0 to 200% for U and V signals) * Automatic chrominance gain control RTV-E4 Extension Board (Optional) Expandable up to 16 channels (3.5 fps/channel at 16 channel inputs) 10-pin ribbon cable to onboard 10-pin header connector for channel extension. Each header adds 4 video input channels. Three 10-pin header connectors onboard. I/O Lines The PCIe-RTV24/PCI-RTV24 is fitted with TTL compatible I/O lines, supporting 4 inputs, 4 outputs and 4 soft trigger lines with protection against overloads and electrostatic discharges. Every line maybe configured as an input or output or can be used to trigger an acquisition or report an alarm condition. RTV-I4 Isolated GPIO Board (Optional) General Purpose I/O Lines : * All I/Os are TTL compatible and support 4 inputs, 4 outputs, and 4 soft trigger lines. * Two on-board 10-pin header connectors. * The I/O lines are pulled high internally and have the following characteristics: Software Support OS Information * Windows(R) 8/7/XP * Linux Software Compatibility * Microsoft(R) DirectX * C#/.NET/VC++/VB/C++ Builder/Delphi * Sample program included Software Recommendations * ADLINK ViewCreatorProTM Ordering Information PCIe-RTV24 PCI Express(R) 4-CH real-time video capture card for standard cameras Voltage Min.
