Ultra-fast Multiple-channel Video Capture cards Video Capture card: Picolo Alert
Ultra-fast Multiple-channel Video Capture cards
 
Equipped with the Euresys video-surveillance FPGA, the Picolo Alert cards are able to acquire images from up to sixteen independent cameras with a total digitizing power of 200 / 240 fps. The user is free to share this digitizing power between the sixteen channels, according to the requirements of the application.

16 Video Inputs
200 / 240 fps constantly available
This is not a peak value! As a unique feature, the Alert cards offer the ability to share a total digitizing power of 200 / 240 fields per second (100 / 120 ips) among the sixteen video channels without switching delay.

- Automatic removal of interlacing artefacts in field mode
- A large frame store for an automatic and smooth regulation of the frame rate in case of a system overuse of the PCI
bus. This frame store also ensures a non disruptive image delivery to the PC memory regardless of PCI bus
latencies.
- Stable images regardless of video parity: thanks to the Euresys video-surveillance FPGA, the Picolo Alert cards
process the acquired images on the fly eliminating all issues related to the parity management without requiring any
processing power from the PC
 
An independently programmable frame rate and acquisition parameters for each video input
The user is able to choose the applied frame rate according to the requirements of the application. A maximum of four real-time channels can run simultaneously. The image acquisition is fully configurable for image resolution, pixel size, cropping, scaling, contrast, brightness, saturation, storage format� The commonly used size formats are predefined: QCIF, CIF, Field and Frame, with square pixels or broadcast resolution.
 
Two independent and simultaneous destinations for each video channel leading to 32 video output streams
Each camera independently delivers data to two different memory locations in the PC, including the graphic card, for simultaneous capture and preview functions. Both are fully configurable for acquisition rate, image resolution, cropping, scaling, contrast, brightness, saturation, storage format...
