Description
Model 609 combines the functions of a 16 x 8 video crosspoint switch and a frame grabber into one standard size PCI board.

The board accepts sixteen standard composite TV inputs and routes any eight to the output channels.  Four of the selected eight output channels are connected to the inputs of the frame grabber.

The video from any one of these four can be digitized at a real time rate of 30 frames per second with full resolution of 640 x 480 for NTSC and at 25 frames per second of 768 x 576 for PAL or SECAM.  The 609 uses a FUSION878 (BT-878) decoder.

Digital I/O
The 609 has sixteen digital inputs and sixteen outputs (TTL) controlled through software.
Output Terminations
A software controlled video switch and 75 ohm resistor are in series with each of the eight output amplifiers.  When the switch is closed the load/monitor at the output has the equivalent of 75 ohms to virtual ground.

Internal Signal Connections
A thirty-four pin flat cable header is provided for the sixteen video inputs.  Each of the video outputs has a two-pin connector.  Each group of eight digital I/O signals has a ten-pin flat cable header.
External Signal Connections
The flat cables from the 609 may be connected to an optional termination box, model 609TA.  It provides sixteen BNC's for inputs, eight BNC's outputs, and screw terminals for the digital I/O signals.  Surge protection is included for the digital I/O lines.
Software
A 32-bit DLL is supplied for Windows 98/NT/2000.  It is part of the software developer's kit, SDK609.  The kit also includes sample application programs.
Multiple Boards
Multiple 609's may be used in the same PCI bus.  A 609 and a 611 frame grabber will also function together.
