- Page 4 FEATURES OVERVIEW The picasso PCI-2SQ 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 maximum (30 frames/sec). The picasso PCI-2SQ operates as a PCI bus master, allowing it to transfer images directly to the system memory or the VGA memory without impacting the processor.
- Page 5 FEATURES FEATURES 32-bit PCI interface 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 Multiple colour/monochrome video inputs Several configurations are possible, they are software controlled.

A mouse or compatible pointing device. One 3.5 inches floppy disk drive for installation. ARVOO recommends systems with newer PCI-chipsets, such as Intel 440BX, i810 or i820. 1.2 Installing the picasso 1. Select a 32-bit PCI bus master expansion slot. Refer to your computer systems user manual to determine which slots are bus masters. - Page 7 GETTING STARTED 1.3 I/O connectors Sub D- VID1 VID0 Figure 1 1.3.1 Video sources The picasso supports up to four video sources. The video input-connectors VID0 and VID1 are 4-pins minidin female connectors [see Figure 2]. Composite video sources (CVBS) are connected to input A-D of VID0 and VID1 [see Table 1].
