Video sources

The 

picasso

TM

 

PCI-3C supports two RGB video sources or six B&W. The 

picasso

TM

 

PCI-3C

pro

supports two RGB, six B&W, or four CVBS (composite colour) video sources. The selection of
the different video inputs is software controlled.
The green LED (D1) [see Figure 1] indicates locking of the frame grabber on an incoming video
signal.

When the green LED is flashing it indicates an error condition:
-

 

Video input signal doesn’t contain sync timing.

-

 

Wrong selection of video standard (PAL instead of NTSC).

-

 

Wrong selection of sync input (sync on red instead of sync on green)

When the green LED doesn’t light-up at all, it indicates:
-

 

No video or sync signal.

-

 

Wrong video input-port selected (Y2 instead of Y1).

The green LED doesn’t indicate lock information when you capture CVBS video signals with
the 

picasso

TM

 

PCI-3C

pro

.You can display or capture one camera at a time.
