| Sixteen video
inputs and 200 / 240 fps constantly available
As a unique feature, the Alert offers the ability to
share a total digitizing power of 200 / 240 fields per
second (100 / 120 ips) among the sixteen video channels
without switching delay. With the dedicated Euresys
video-surveillance FPGA, this high acquisition rate
is always fully available independently of the camera
synchronization type.

Form Factors
The Picolo Alert is available in two form factors,
conventional PCI or PCI Express.
The Picolo Alert PCI offers a PCI bandwidth of 200 MByte/s
enabling the most demanding applications. The high-
bandwidth 64-bit, 66 MHz PCI bus of the Picolo Alert
is compatible with all the conventional PCI slots of
a PC: from 32-bit, 33 MHz -5V- to 64-bit, 66 MHz -3V-.
PCI
Express is a robust serial point-to-point interface
offering high-speed bandwidth to each connected device.
The Picolo Alert PCIe is featured with a 1-lane (x1)
PCI Express interface offering a large bandwidth of
2x180Mbytes/s. A 1-lane board is universal as it is
compatible with all PCI Express connectors.
The "PCI Variation Application Note" and the
"PCI Express Technology Note" are available
on the -download area-.
Connections for the 16 video
inputs

Four
robust BNC connectors are provided on-board for the
main video channels. The 12 additional inputs are to
be connected internally.
For this purpose, Euresys offers Video Expansion Brackets
(VEB) for 4 cameras. Alternatively, all 16 video sources
can be connected internally via the four on-board headers.
Professional I/O lines
An internal 20-pin header offers professional I/O connectivity:
five solid-state relay outputs and four contact-closure
inputs.
