DPict Imaging : AEXEON
Bus-Mastering Video Acquisition Board For OEM Applications
Intelligent Frame Grabber Solutions
Description
The dPict Imaging Aexeon is a low-cost, full-featured video frame grabber board for analog camera solutions. Aexeon accepts multiple composite, S-Video, or component video inputs in both NTSC and PAL formats and digitizes in both square pixel and CCIR-601 resolutions. With on-board processing, complete camera control, and video output, Aexeon is the perfect product for analog camera OEM solutions. Aexeon can be ordered in either PCI or PCI Express system interfaces allowing for system compatibility well into the future. PCI Express is the high-performance, next generation interconnect that increases bandwidth, scalability, and reliability.
Aexeonprovides high speed bus-mastering capability with scatter gather support delivers realtime video data to system or display memory simultaneously, without intervention from the host CPU. Video data formatting and resolution is independent between streams, allowing for maximum bandwidth flexibility. By incorporating an on-board video processor, Aexeon enables maximum flexibility in handling challenging application requirements. Equipped with a 32 MB SDRAM frame buffer, the video processor provides video scaling, pixel formatting, interrupt support, hardware overlay, real-time video processing, and video output functionality.

Interfacing and controlling cameras with Aexeon is painless. Cameras can be accessed through its on-board RS-232 serial interface and powered through a fused12-volt power output. Aexeon has 8 programmable I/O triggers for camera integration or event triggering. Aexeon also incorporates an on-board microprocessor to guarantee accurate synchronization and robust triggering without relying on the host CPU. dVeloper is a comprehensive software developers kit that supports all dPict Imaging products, allowing for easy porting to new hardware. dVeloper is royalty free and runs under Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, and 7 operating systems. Source code samples and complete documentation are included in Visual C, C#, and Visual Basic .NET to provide insight to various hardware functions. Samples include video-in-a-window, overlay, video buffering, camera control, and more.
