    Aexeon HDS Description

    PCI Express Support

    Aexeon HDS 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.

    Bus-Mastering Performance

    Aexeon's HDS's 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.

    Digital Video Processor

    By incorporating an on-board video processor, Aexeon enables maximum flexibility in handling challenging application requirements. Equipped with a 64 MB SDRAM frame buffer, the video processor provides video scaling, pixel formatting, interrupt support, hardware overlay, real-time video processing, and video output functionality.

    3G-SDI Serial Digital Interface

    Aexeon HDS supports viewing and capture of the enhanced video quality from SDI sources. SDI is a broadcast quality video transmission standard that allows for the transmission of un-compressed digital video data on a common coax cable at distances up to 300 feet.

    High-Quality Video Capture

    Aexeon HDS provides high-quality 10-bit capture from up to 3 RGB or YPrPb component, 4 S-Video, or 9 composite/monochrome video sources in NTSC or PAL format. Video can be captured and stored in either square pixel or CCIR-601 resolutions, and can be scaled to any arbitrary size.

    Extensive Camera Control

    Cameras can be accessed through the Aexeon HDS's on-board RS-232 serial interface and powered through a fused 12-volt power output. Aexeon HDS has 8 programmable I/O triggers for camera integration or event triggering and incorporates an on-board microprocessor to guarantee accurate synchronization and robust triggering without relying on the host CPU.
