The Input Cards - Barco TransForm A series User Manual

4.6.1 The input cards

For showing information from external sources like video or RGB data on a Barco display wall a set of input cards
is provided. For integration of video the Q

An X video application allows to display the sources connected to the input cards in individual windows on the
display wall, that can be freely scaled and moved within the projection cubes connected to that device. The dis-
play options can be set in a dialog box.

MPEG-1 up to 4 streams (all resolutions)
MPEG-2 up to 4 D1 streams or 4 CIF streams
MPEG-4 part 2 up to 4 CIF streams or 3 2CIF streams or 1-2 4CIF streams (if content is highly dynamic e.g.
action movies, it is recommended to decode 1 4CIF stream per board)
MPEG-4 h263 up to 4 CIF streams or 4 2CIF streams or 4 4CIF streams
MJPEG up to 4 CIF streams or 2-4 4CIF streams (AXIS: 4 CIF streams 75% quality/25% compression)
Visiowave 1-3 D1 streams or up to 4 CIF streams (depends on resolution)

Four different digital video sources can be connected to a single Q

dual input mode (two signals, both ≤ 1280×1024@75Hz)
single input mode (one signal ≤ 1280×1024@75Hz)
single input mode (one signal > 1280×1024@75Hz)
To take advantage of the higher frame rate for signals ≤ 1280×1024@75Hz in single input mode, the other
socket may be connected to a second signal but that signal may not be displayed on the display wall.
The X video application allows selecting additionally a dynamic frame rate reduction of the source, which must
be multiplied to the static frame rate reduction to obtain the overall frame rate reduction, please refer also to
