PCIe-RTV24 / PCI-RTV24
4-CH PCI Express / PCI Real-time Video Capture Cards for Standard Cameras
Introduction
General
The PCIe-RTV24/PCI-RTV24 acquisition board are designed without compromise for machine vision and
video surveillance applications. They are the ideal devices for PC-based multiple-channel vision application.
The PCIe-RTV24 PCI Express x1 lane frame grabber can capture simultaneously four analog video streams in
real time. It accepts standard composite colors (PAL, NTSC) or monochrome video formats (CCIR, EIA).
PCIe-RTV24
The supported resolution is programmable and includes square-pixel (640 x 480 or 768 x 576) and broadcast
resolution. Before captured images are transferred to the PC's memory, images can be scaled down using available
selectable ratios.
Arbitrary cropping to regions of interest is possible. The PCIe-RTV24 generates bitmaps in all popular color
PCI-RTV24
formats such as RGB, YUV, planar, or packed.
System integrators also benefit from a watchdog for fault-tolerant applications and easy-to-use standard
connectors.

Watchdog
PCIe-RTV24
A hardware watchdog is available on the PCIe-RTV24/PCI-RTV24. The watchdog is able to monitor the
PCI Express 4-CH real-time video capture card for
PC's application operation and will automatically reset the PC after a programmable inactivity time-out. This
standard cameras
ensures a reliable operation of remote systems.
