OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW

The 

picasso

TM

 PCI-3C is a high-performance ‘plug and play’ PC-card for the PCI-bus. It enables

each standard PCI system to capture and store single images for image processing or full-frame
display of real-time video in a window (30 frames/sec).
The 

picasso

TM

 PCI-3C operates as a PCI bus master, allowing it to transfer images directly to

the system or VGA memory without impacting the processor.
The 

picasso

TM

 PCI-3C has two analog RGB inputs with separate sync inputs. Sync is also

accepted on one of the color inputs. The video input is software controlled and accepts both
standard and non-standard video signals. Progressive scan and line scan video formats are
optionally supported. The grabber is also designed as a triple channel 8-bit digitizer for
monochrome video (three synchronized B&W cameras).
The 

picasso

TM

 PCI-3C

pro

 supports additional acquisition from CVBS video signals.

The 3C

pro

 CVBS inputs are software controlled and accept NTSC and PAL video formats.
