The AVC4000 integrates on a single PC/104-Plus card 4 real-time video frame grabbers for capturing video from 4 independent and asynchronous composite video sources (NTSC or PAL). The AVC4000 features built-in video multiplexers that allow the selection of four sources from up to 8 inputs. The selected inputs can be scaled, cropped and positioned under software control and alpha blended with OSD text and graphics. Furthermore, the 4 video input channels can be arranged into a number of pre-defined or custom views under software control to make up a single D1 stream. The size and position of each of the channels is adjustable and allows custom PiP, PoP and tiled views to be created as required. Pre-defined views exist for displaying each input channel as a full size D1 input and for displaying each video channel as CIF sized quadrants making up a full D1 capture.
Utilising the 32-bit PCI architecture, the AVC4000 overlays the captured video directly onto the host system VGA display buffer or system memory with minimal host CPU intervention and loading. The AVC4000 features 2 analog video output paths for easy connection to a separate video recorder or display unit. The analog outputs can configured to display the same video stream as the capture or an alternative channel arrangement again under software control.
The AVC4000 comes with a set of well-documented comprehensive SDKs that minimize development risk and shortens time-to-market. The SDKs are available on popular embedded operating systems such as Windows XP / XP-Embedded and Linux.
Typical applications include high performance image capture, vehicle-based video capture, real-time situational awareness, law Enforcement, crime scene recording, remote video surveillance, multi-camera security application, asset monitoring, traffic monitoring and control as well as video acquisition and analytics.
