Picolo Series
Picolo Series
Color/Monochrome Image Acquisition Cards
BNC connectors (video input) allowing connection of up to four cameras.
Picolo Pro3: The Picolo Pro3 is able to acquire images from up to 16
cameras due to its modular architectural design. The Picolo Pro3
baseboard and each extension module (up to 3) provide 4 BNC and a
CTL connector (with 5 TTL I/O lines).
Image Acquisition
Color Image: Color video format is compatible with the following
composite video input formats: NTSC-M, NTSC-Japan, PCL-B, PAL-
D, PAL-G, PAL-H, PAL-I, PAM-M, PAL-N and SECAM.
Monochrome Image: The monochrome video acquisition is compatible
with CCIR and EIA (RS-170).
Optional Scaling: The acquire images or portions of images can be
optionally scaled:
Acquisition of a programmable area of interest
Scaling of the image (down to 1:16)
Adjustment of hue (for NTSC signals), contrast (0 to 200%), brightness
and saturation (0 to 200% for U and V signals)
Automatic chrominance gain control
Multiple Cameras
The Picolo Pro2 and Picolo Pro3 can acquire images from unsynchronized
cameras within very short switching times. The switching time is <
33ms for NTSC and <40ms for PAL, therefore a total of 16 images can
be acquired per second (typical).
Image Transfer
The Picolo series supports PCI bus mastering. Images are transferred
to the PC memory using DMA (Direct Memory Access) in parallel with
the acquisition and processing. Several Picolo series boards can be
simultaneously be in operation within a single PC is supported.
Watchdog
A hardware watchdog is available on the Picolo Pro3I. The watchdog
is able to monitor the PC's application operation and will automatically
reset the PC after a programmable inactivity time-out. This ensures a
reliable operation of remote systems.
Bitmap Image Formats
Before storing the acquired images to its located memory buffer, a
pixel format conversion takes place in real-time. Numerous color or
monochrome formats can be chosen: RGB32, RGB24, RGB16, RGB15,
Y8, YCrCb 4:2:2, YCrCb 4:1:1, Planar YCrCb 4:2:2, Planar YCrCb
4:1:1
General
Picolo: The Picolo is a low-cost frame grabber card ideal single camera
applications. It provides a robust BNC connector, an S-video connector
and a DB-9 connector for video input and I/O connections.
Picolo Pro2: The Picolo Pro2 is a cost effective frame grabber card
optimized for video surveillance applications. The synchronization
stage, PCI management hardware and the MultiCam driver have been
optimized to allow high-speed acquisition of full-resolution images
from multiple unsynchronized cameras. The Picolo Pro2 provides 4
