Full D1 video capture and MPEG-4 compression boards
The Picolo Diligent are 4-channel video capture and MPEG-4 compression boards. Equipped with the Euresys
video-surveillance FPGA, the Diligent boards are able to acquire images from up to four independent cameras and
simultaneously transfer the full D1 MPEG 4 streams and the full D1 uncompressed video images at 25 / 30 frames per
sec from all four cameras.
- MultiCam drivers for Microsoft Windows® and Linux
Real-time full D1 preview and simultaneous full D1 compressed capture
Four MPEG-4 high-quality compression chips
The Picolo Diligent boards are equipped with four MPEG-4 compression chips. The MPEG-4 output format complies with the Single Profile @ Level3 and is compatible with the Microsoft codec MP4S and the DivX codec DX50.
- Enhanced motion adaptive de-interlacing functions
- Programmable Group Of Pictures structures and sizes
- Advanced MPEG bit-rate control (CBR/VBR) from 1Kbps to 6 Mbps
Video inputs
The Picolo Diligent is equipped with four robust on boards BNC connectors. Alternatively, a four-video inputs header
allows to connect the cameras internally the cameras.
Video output
A video output is available to display the different sources one at a time. The customer directs to an analog monitor one
of the four video inputs or the fifth cascade input.
This cascade input allows to select a video source coming from other Picolo Diligent boards installed in the same
system.
