Easy-to-Integrate and High-Quality Video Capture and H.264 Compression Cards

The Euresys Picolo H.264 cards are top-quality video acquisition and H.264 compression cards compatible with standard PAL or NTSC cameras. They are dedicated to high-end applications in the fields of video-surveillance and mobile video-surveillance. The Picolo H.264 series also targets entry-level applications in the field of machine vision such as production monitoring including in extreme industrial environments. The Picolo H.264 series features H.264 on-board compression. This compression standard offers high image quality on top of low bit rate and low storage requirement.

Each video input simultaneously delivers two or three independently configurable output streams: one raw uncompressed stream and one or two H.264 compressed streams. The compressed streams may be recorded or transmitted while the uncompressed one is typically used for local display or video analytics. The Picolo H.264 cards feature one audio input line for each video input.

The Picolo H.264 cards can be easily and quickly integrated into any video surveillance system. They come along with simple and convenient Windows and Linux standard-based drivers. Various connecting accessories are available for straightforward integration and immediate evaluation of the cards. The cards are also compatible with CamID (PRELIMINARY), a framework and toolkit for easy and flexible video, audio and IO signals routing throughout video surveillance systems. CamID simplifies the design, the programming and the maintenance of video surveillance applications.

Acquisition
  Video standards:   color (PAL/NTSC), monochrome (CCIR/EIA)
  Image size
4 CIF: 704 x 480 NTSC/EIA, 704 x 576 PAL/CCIR

On-Board Compression
  H.264 real-time compression on each video input
- H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) Baseline Profile (Level 3)
- High image quality on top of low bit rate and low storage requirement
Output Streams
  2 or 3 independent and simultaneous destinations for each video channel
Typical configuration: subject to the amount of instantaneously available encoding power for the considered video channel
  One high-fidelity, 4CIF format, full frame rate H.264 encoded stream e.g. for high-quality recording on hard disks
  One additional CIF format, half frame rate H.264 encoded stream only available on Picolo U4/U8/U16 H.264
e.g. for transmission over networks with limited bandwidth including wireless networks
One raw uncompressed stream e.g. for real-time display and video analytics - subject to PCI bus available bandwidth -
Audio
  Up to 16 line-level audio inputs
  Audio-video synchronization supported by an accurate hardware time stamping of audio and video data
Bus Mastering

All Euresys cards are PCI bus mastering agents that directly store the acquired images into the PC physical memory without CPU involvement. The Euresys capture cards automatically recover the scatter-gather virtual memory mapping to present the data as a regular bitmap image in a user allocated memory buffer.

Simple and Convenient Standard-Based Drivers
  DirectShow Drivers for Windows® (32-bit and 64-bit)
Kernel streaming mini driver providing the following filters:
- Board - Audio Source - Input Line - Watchdog
- Visual Source - Output Line - Pass - Pass-Through Selector
  Virtual File System Drivers for Linux (32-bit and 64-bit)
Memory-based file system driver where each board appears as a file system populated with files organized as a directory tree and managed using standard file management functions of the operating system. The following board features are supported:
- Audio Inputs - Output Lines
- Video Inputs - Pass-Through Selector
- Input Lines - Watchdog
Compatible with CamID (preliminary)

CamID is a system framework including a toolkit for easy and flexible video, audio and IO signal assignation and routing throughout a video surveillance system. It strongly simplifies the design and programming of any surveillance applications on top of facilitating the maintenance.The Picolo H.264 cards and connecting accessories are available in the System.
