Sixteen audio inputs are also provided to provide audio recording capabilities for any video channel. The on-board decoders and processor perform on-the-fly data processing-scaling, fixed cropping, contrast, brightness, saturation, color conversion, mask or caption insertion, decimation, and storage format. The acquired streams-one compressed and one uncompressed, with different configurations-can be sent from the frame grabber memory to two different memory locations, such as the main memory of the computer for storage, and the graphic card memory for preview and display. # Video ◆ 16 real-time analog video inputs - PAL / NTSC - \* Contrast, brightness and saturation controls available \* Video presence/loss detection • One pass-through buffered video output with cascade capability • Video connectors for Video In and Out \* One HD44 connector on the bracket \* 75-Ohm removable termination resistors \* Internal pin header connectors • 1 “VIDEO IN”: 34-pin high density header, 1.27 mm pitch • 1 ‘VIDEO OUTPUT & CASCADE’: 6-pin header # H.264 Compression ◆ 16 simultaneous and independent compressed (H.264) and raw video streams \* Simultaneous capture and preview functions subject to PC bus available bandwidth • Compressed images > To be stored on the hard disc > To be transferred by the network • Uncompressed images > For immediate display > For video analytics \* Precise time stamping \* Independently configurable functions on both streams • Frame rate control • Resolution control • Overlay: insertion of caption text messages on the image • Masking: insertion of up to four rectangular masking regions on the image ![The flowchart depicts a video processing pipeline starting with a 'Camera' block. The sequence proceeds as follows:\n\n1. **Initial Pipeline:**\n * Camera\n * Decoder with video detection\n * Safety Substitution image when no video detected\n * Contrast, brightness, saturation\n * Interlaced to Progressive\n\n2. **Splitting Point:**\n The output from 'Interlaced to Progressive' leads to a black circle that splits the flow into two parallel paths.\n\n3. **Upper Path (Blue Blocks):**\n * Fixed Cropping\n * Insertion Mask, Caption\n * Decimation 1 image out of N\n * Scaler 1:1 or 1:2\n * Encoder H.264\n\n4. **Lower Path (Grey/Black Blocks):**\n * Variable Cropping\n * Insertion Mask, Caption\n * Decimation 1 image out of N\n * Scaler 1:1, 1:2 or 1:4\n * Color Conversion YUV to RGB or YUV to YUY\n * Visual Formatter YUV Planar, YUV Packed or RGB Packed](.euresyspicolov16h-264-datasheet-3/6c129766e72d38715586863317f648136994a6b827c4309814cb5c0ad928de46.jpg) [🔗 Link to the original document](.euresyspicolov16h-264-datasheet-3/euresyspicolov16h-264-datasheet-3.pdf)
