/ 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
®
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).
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.

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:

Watchdog
A hardware watchdog is available on the PCIe-RTV24/PCI-RTV24. The watchdog is able to monitor the
PC's application operation and will automatically reset the PC after a programmable inactivity time-out. This
ensures a reliable operation of remote systems.
