Introduction

The PCI-MP4S is a MPEG4 software video compression development kit that combines excellent real-time image acquisition and advanced MPEG4 software video compression algorithm for security and remote video surveillance applications. This 32-bit, 33MHz PCI bus frame grabber simultaneously captures four video analog streams in real time.

It accepts standard composite color (PAL, NTSC) or monochrome video format

(CCIR, EIA) camera input. The resolution can be programmed (640 x 480 or 768 x 576) and scaled down before images are transferred to PC memory.

The MPEG4 software video compression function library provides high quality video encoding and decoding. Image quality and bit-rate are adjustable for more efficient data transmission via TCP/IP. The PCI-MP4S also has a sensitive partial or whole image motion detection area for smart video encoding or alarm signaling. Up to 4X image expansion technology for enhanced decoded image quality is available.

Each PCI-MP4S board has a unique hardware ID number. System integrators can use this to implement protection to lock their system product. Other useful features are a watchdog timer for fault-tolerant applications and easy-to-use standard connectors.

Installation Guide

3.1.1 PCI-MP4S

Use the following steps to install the PCI-MP4S board on the PCI bus:

1. Remove the computer cover using the instructions from the computer manual.

2. Check that there is an empty PCI (32-bit) slot to accommodate the board.

If there is no empty slot, remove a PCI board from the computer to make room for the PCI-MP4S board and note the chosen slot number (i.e. card index).

3. Remove the blank metal plate located at the back of the selected slot (if any). Keep the removed screw to fasten the PCI-MP4S board after installation.

4. Carefully position the PCI-MP4S in the selected PCI slot as illustrated below. If using a tower computer, orient the board to suit the board slots.

5. Once perfectly aligned with an empty slot, press the board firmly but carefully into the connector.

@ Description

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_Set_Callback:

This function establishes a notification mechanism between function library and user process. The callback function is application-defined. The user passes the function pointer to the function library by calling this function. In order to receive any notification event, the user must apply this function before any decode function at the decode site.

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_ Connect:

Function Library

• 49

Use this function to establish a connection between decoder and encoder.

Video data will then be transferred through this connection.

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_ Disconnect:

Use this function to close the connection between decoder and encoder. After closing the connection, the decoder will not receive video data from the encoder.

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_Start:

If a connection between encoder and decoder is established, video data will transfer from encoder to decoder automatically. Use this function to restart video data transmission after calling “AngeloMPEG4_Decode_Stop” to stop data transmission.

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_Stop:

This function stops video data transmission between decoder and encoder, but leaves the connection established.

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_Save_File_Start:

If the connection between encoder and decoder is established, use this function to save the encoded image into an “.avi” or “.m4v” video file at the decode site. The “.avi” file is the standard video format, and “.m4v” is only accessible in this function library.

Note:

1. Do not add a file extension to the file name.

2. User must install the XVID Codec in our setup disk in order to play “.avi” file in

MS Media Player.

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_Save_File_Stop:

If a connection between encoder and decoder is established, use this function to stop saving the video file to the decode site. In general, the video file will close automatically after the “Interval” parameter in

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_Save_File_Start has elapsed.

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_Set_Motion_Detection:

If the connection between encoder and decoder is established, use this function to configure the motion detection criteria and the action when motion occurs at the decode site.

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_Set_Image_Config:

If the connection between encoder and decoder is established, use this function to adjust image properties (e.g. contrast, brightness).

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_From_File:

Function Library

• 50

If you save the video file into “.m4v” format and the file is closed, you can use this function to decode the video file and retrieve the video image with a callback function. The video images can then be displayed in the Windows environment.

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_Get_FlowRate(channel, Byte_Second):

If the connection between encoder and decoder is established, use this function to query the current data flow rate between encoder and decoder.

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_ReInitialEx(channel, Bitrate, frame_rate,

Angelo_Video_Format)

Because the bit rate and frame rate are initialized at the encode site, the decoder uses this function to reset the image quality, if there is a connection established.

Note: if one decoder changes the image quality, all the other decoders will also receive the new image quality.

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_ReInitial(channel, Quality , Angelo_Video_Format):

Because the Quality is initialized at the encode site, the decoder uses this function to reset the image quality, if there is a connection established.

Note: if one decoder changes the image quality, all the other decoders will also receive the new image quality.

AngeloMPEG4_Decode_Get_Config:

User must define a callback function, than call

“AngeloMPEG4_Decode_Set_Callback”. Use “AngeloMPEG4_Decode_

Connect” to establish the connection, if the connection is made, the callback function will receive a notification event. Then you can use

“AngeloMPEG4_Decode_Get_Config” to get the image configuration (e.g. width, height, Bitrate, and frame_rate) from the encode site.

Appendix

Appendix A: Glossary

Brightness:

Attribute of a visual sensation according to which an area appears to exhibit more or less light.

CCIR:

Committee Consulat International Radiotelegraphique. This is a standards committee of the International Telecommunications Union, which made the technical recommendation for European 625 line standard for video signals.

Composite Video:

Composite video (CVS/CVBS) signal carries video picture information for color, brightness and synchronizing signals for both horizontal and vertical scans.

CIF:

CIF has 352(H) x 288(V) luminance pixels, and 176(H) x 144(V) chrominance pixels. QCIF is a similar picture format with one-quarter the size of CIF.

EIA:

Electronic Industry Association. An industry lobbying group; it collects statistics and establishes testing standards for many types of home electronics.

Field:

For interlaced video the total picture is divided into two fields, one even and one odd, each containing one half of the total vertical information. Each field takes one sixtieth of a second (one fiftieth for PAL) to complete. Two fields make a complete frame of video.

Frame:

One frame (two fields) of video contains the full vertical interlaced information content of the picture. For NTSC this consists of 525 lines and PAL a frame is consisted of 625 lines.

Gamma:

Cathode ray tubes (CRTs) do not have a linear relationship between brightness and the input voltage applied. To compensate for this non-linearity, a pre distortion or gamma correction is applied, generally at the camera source. A value of gamma equal to 2.2 is typical, but can very for different

CRT phosphors.

Hue:

Appendix

• 73

Attribution of visual sensation according to which area appears to be similar to one, or proportions of two, of the perceived colors red, yellow, green, and blue.

NTSC:

Color TV standard developed in the U.S. in 1953 by National Television

System Committee. NTSC is used in United States, Canada, Japan, in most of the American continent countries and in various Asian countries. The rest of the world uses either some variety of PAL or SECAM standards.

NTSC runs on 525 lines/frame and its vertical frequency is 60Hz. NTSC’s frame rate is 29.97 frames/sec.

PAL:

PAL (Phase Alternating Line) TV standard was introduced in the early 1960”s in Europe. It has better resolution than NTSC, having 625 lines/frame, but the frame rate is slightly lower, being 25 frames/sec. PAL is used in most of the western European countries (except France, where SECAM is used),

Australia, some countries in Africa, some countries in South America and in some Asian countries. There are various versions of PAL, the most commonly used method is called PAL B/G, but others include PAL I (used in the UK and in Ireland) and PAL M (hybrid standard, which has the same resolution as NTSC, but uses PAL transmission and color coding technology).

Saturation:

A characteristic describing color amplitude or intensity. A color of a given hue may consist of low or high saturation value, which relates to the vividness of the color.

AGC

Abbreviation for automatic gain control. On a TV or VCR, AGC is a circuit that automatically adjusts the incoming signal to the proper levels for display or recording. On a video camera, AGC is a circuit that automatically adjusts the sensitivity of the pickup tube to render the most pleasing image.
