Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to fields such as industrial control and high-end manufacturing, and in particular to a PXIe-compliant SDI and composite video capture card. Background Technology

[0002] SDI stands for Serial Digital Interface. It is a professional, uncompressed, point-to-point digital video signal transmission standard that transmits video data, audio data, timecode, and all other information sequentially, bit by bit, over a single coaxial cable. This greatly simplifies system cabling, requiring only a single cable to transmit both video and audio simultaneously. SDI features high-quality video transmission, low latency, and long transmission distances, offering high communication efficiency and a unified communication protocol standard. It is currently used in industrial control and high-end manufacturing fields.

[0003] Composite video is one of the earliest methods of video signal transmission. It compresses and mixes all video information into a single signal channel, which is then transmitted over a single cable. Composite video is characterized by simple connection, stable video transmission, and long transmission distance, and it has a unified communication protocol standard. It is currently used in fields such as surveillance cameras.

[0004] With the development of camera technology, cameras output in various modes, making it crucial to capture video from these different modes. However, some video capture cards only support one type of camera mode. Therefore, there is a need to develop video capture cards that simultaneously support multiple camera modes. Currently, there are no chips that support multiple camera modes simultaneously, and there are very few video capture card products in China that do so. Therefore, the research and development of video capture cards that simultaneously support multiple camera modes is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
