Acquisition for video surveillance applications

 

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 configuration1 camera2 cameras3 cameras4 cameras
Fields / Frames per second (per camera)60 / 3012 / 98 / 66 / 4
Fields / Frames per second (all cameras)60 / 3024 / 1724 / 1724 / 17

Fields / Frames per second (per camera)50 / 2510 / 77 / 55 / 3
Fields / Frames per second (all cameras)50 / 2520 / 1420 / 1420 / 14
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.
