Acquisition for Video Surveillance
|
|
|
|
Picolo Pro 2 PCIe and Picolo Pro 2 are video capture cards designed for entrylevel
video surveillance applications. Up to 4 composite video signals are
captured directly through standard BNC inputs. The quick switching capability
offers an optimized frame rate for all acquisition conditions. TTL I/O lines are
provided for easy system integration.

Quick Switching
|
|
The multiple video inputs of the Picolo Pro 2
cards are sequentially acquired using a proprietary
switching method. The resulting switching latency for
unsynchronized cameras is never more than 33 ms in
NTSC and 40 ms in PAL. This leads to the following
typical performances:

|
| NTSC configuration |
1 camera |
2 cameras |
3 cameras |
4 cameras |
| Fields / Frames per second (per camera) |
60 / 30 |
12 / 9 |
8 / 6 |
6 / 4 |

Connections
|
|
Picolo Pro 2 PCIe and Picolo Pro 2 are featured with four standard BNC connectors for ruggedized camera connection.
An internal 16-pin header connector provides 13 general purpose input / output TTL lines. They may be used for
triggering image capture and interfacing to alarm system.
