FEATURES

n

 

32-bit PCI interface

The 

picasso

TM

 is a full PCI 2.1 bus master with a transfer rate up to 132

Mbytes/sec. This allows the bus master to transfer up to 30 frames/sec. Support
of zero wait state burst transfers

.

n

 

Multiple colour/monochrome video inputs

Several configurations are possible, they are software controlled. Maximum of 4
CVBS or 2 S-video inputs.

n

 

Resolution

24 bit colour levels. Square pixel format with a maximum of 768/640 active
pixel resolution per frame. Automatic selection of NTSC, PAL, SECAM.

n

 

Automatic detection of 50/60 Hz

n

 

RS-170 CCIR 601 level-compatible

n

 

Square pixel – 1:1 aspect ratio

n

 

Automatic or programmable gain control

n

 

Real-time scaling

Useful for reducing the size of images on the display. Images can be scaled down
randomly.

n

 

Memory

Memory Management Unit (MMU) supports Virtual Memory up to 4
Mbytes/DMA channel. The 

picasso

TM

 

 has 3 DMA channels.

n

 

Data Formats

Data can be stored in several RGB formats in system memory or the displays
adapter frame buffer.

n

 

Two digital inputs and two digital outputs

The 

picasso

TM

 

has two optical isolated digital inputs and outputs. They are

software controlled and they can be used for external events such as light
switching and camera triggering. The inputs can be programmed as interrupt for
fast input reaction time.
