Page 4: Overview
OVERVIEW OVERVIEW The picasso PCI-3C is a high-performance ‘plug and play’ PC-card for the PCI-bus. It enables each standard PCI system to capture and store single images for image processing or full-frame display of real-time video in a window (30 frames/sec). The picasso PCI-3C operates as a PCI bus master, allowing it to transfer images directly to the system or VGA memory without impacting the processor. -
Page 5: Features
FEATURES FEATURES 32-bit PCI interface, 3.3V or 5V I/O compatible The picasso is a full PCI 2.1 bus master with a transfer rate up to 132 Mbytes/sec. This allows the bus master to transfer up to 30 frames/sec. Support of zero wait state burst transfers. Two RGB colour/multiple monochrome video inputs Several configurations are possible, selected by software. -

A mouse or compatible pointing device. One 3.5 inch floppy disk drive for installation. ARVOO recommends only motherboards that are equiped with modern PCI-chipsets, good test results have been found with e.g. the Intel 440BX, i810, i815 or i820 chipsets. -

GETTING STARTED 1.3 I/O connectors Figure 1 1.3.1 Video sources The picasso PCI-3C supports two RGB video sources or six B&W. The picasso PCI-3Cpro supports two RGB, six B&W, or four CVBS (composite colour) video sources. The selection of the different video inputs is software controlled. The green LED (D1) [see Figure 1] indicates locking of the frame grabber on an incoming video signal. - Page 8 GETTING STARTED The video input-connector is a SUB-D15 connector and the GPIO is a SUB-D9 connector [see Figure 2]. SUB-D15 SUB-D9 Figure 2: Close-up of RGB-VID and GPIO connectors. Table 1 shows connection of the video sources to the SUB-D15 connector. The pin assignment depends on the video sources that are used.

When U19 and F1 is placed [see Figure 1] no external power supply is needed. U19 will provide the external 5V. F1 is a fuse with the following specifications: 250mA, fast. Ask ARVOO support for more information. ATTENTION: The maximum output current is 100mA. - Page 10 GETTING STARTED In Figure 6 a wiring example for an output is given.
