It can support 4 camera inputs multiplexer for triplex operation. The input data interface is CCIR656 4:2:2 8-bit format. It has (Max.) 3 output paths for flexible combination of live/ spot monitoring, play and VCR/DVR recording. The output data interface has the analog s-video/ composite/ RGB progressive and digital CCIR656 YUV 4:2:2 8-bit and progressive RGB 4:4:4 24-bit video formats in NTSC/PAL video system. (NTSC: 30 frame/sec, PAL: 25 frame/sec). Direct memory access (DMA) allows image data to be uploaded to PC. DDR memory is supported via a direct video frame buffer interface for quick replay. Via serial I2C interface or host parallel bus, the fully programmable register sets allow flexible control of the video window overlay, OSD display, VBI, and input/output channel source selection etc. More features offered include PIP, POP, channel freeze, scaling down, re-play function, OSD function, VBI decoding and encoding, zooming with H/ V linear interpolation, anti-rolling, image panning/ flipping/ mirroring, channel switching, priority (weighting) recording, GOP recording for DVR, video loss/ blind detection and motion detection that increase the value of a high quality system designn. External Device Interface - Image CODEC Interface - AL37204 to achieve 4-ch multiplexer - 8 bit Host Parallel interface & I2C serial interface - 16-bit DDR Interface (256/512M bit, 133MHz) - Color Video Decoder/Encoder Interface Electric Characteristic - Operating voltage: 1.8 volt (Core), 3.3 volt (I/O) - Operating temperature range : 0 ~ 70 - 216 Pin LQFP package - 27 MHz main clock - Low power (c)2004 -Copyright by AverLogic Technologies, Corp. 1-F-PMK008-0001 Application Block Diagram Satellite Receiver Monitor Time Division Multiplexer IP Camera TV decoder CMOS Camera TVP5150 SAA7113/4 TW9903 etc. LCD panel Real-Time Multiplexer Controller CCD Camera 4 ch @ 1x AL37204 Digital Recorder (HDD, CDRW) Webcam VCR/D-VHS Digital Video Recorder (HDD, DVD) VCR/D-VHS TV decoder DVR TVP5150 SAA7113/4 TW9903 etc. Video Video Server More Features The AL37304 OSD windows provide overlay of various graphic images like pop-up menu, camera index, programmable bitmap or message text, etc. High quality multi-channel and adjustable zoom display with less aliasing provides full control of digital magnification of any camera for closer view. It can output the digital YUV and RGB format at the same time for monitoring, recording and compression. Advanced motion detection with programmable detection mask and sensitivity level of each camera. Accessible register/data of moving vector for tracking. User can decide which image frame will be displayed or recorded on monitor/VCR/- DVR output when events triggered. It supports 4/8/16 Channel GOP recording (Max. 15 frame/Group, 1.5G bits) and >256 fields (>12 G bits) for replay. It can support 4 x 1G bits memory in total. Proprietary priority (weighting) recording makes the interested channels almost like live recording with minor controllable loss of other channels recording. Flexible alarm handling for priority (or exclusive) alarm events recording and monitoring at individual channel. All input channels including camera and playback channels will support replay feature. AverLogic's proprietary digital and analog signal processing technologies create a high quality tear free, flicker free and anti-aliasing display. The AL37204 provides a cost-effective and flexible solution for all applications of security related system. (c)2004 -Copyright by AverLogic Technologies, Corp.
