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.

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.
