1.7 Safety Precautions

Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord

from your chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experi enced electr onics personne l should open the PC chassis.

Caution! Always ground yourself t o remove any static

charge before touchin g the mo th er boa rd . Mo dern electronic devices are ve ry se nsitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at all times.

1.8 Jumper Settings

This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting the jumpers. It also includes the motherboards's and your options for each jumper.

1.8.1 How to set jumpers

default settings

You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by trical

setting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an elec-

circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” (or turn ON) a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” (or turn OFF) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper consists of a set of three pins, either pins 1 when setting jumpers.

1.9 System Memory

The DVMB-554E has two sockets for 240-pin memory modules (SODIMMs). All these sockets use 1.8 V unbuffered double data synchronous DRAMs (DDR of 256, 512 and 1024 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with

DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 256 MB

and 2GB.

6.3 Demo Program Functionality

Below is the demo program window. The left side panels are the preview windows of video inputs. The right side panels are the function parameter settings.

6.3.1 Device

Each device is representative of one Conexant Fusion 878A video capture chip. User can set different parameters to different 878A chip.

6.3.2 Switch Channels

Set the “Switch Channels” to decide how many input for each 878A video chip. Each 878A chip can switch to 4 channel video inputs to share 30/25 frame per second. For more information, please refer to DVMB554SDK_Manual

6.3.3 Resolution

Set the video capturing resolution. Please refer to DVMB554SDK_Manual

Notice: For the resolution of VGA or D1, the capture video will have the interlace effect on the video image. In other words, there will be lines in the capture image especially when the targeted image is moving. To eliminate this effect, user might need to set the resolution down to 640x240 and use specific algorisms to compensate the image interlace between the scanning even field image and odd field image. For CIF/320x240 resolution, there will be no interlace effect.

6.3.4 Frame Rate

Set the frame rate for video capturing for specific channel. Please refer to DVMB554SDK_Manual

6.3.5 Video Mux

Set the “Video Mux” to specify the video input channel for setting parameter. Please refer to DVMB554SDK_Manual

6.3.6 Video Standard

Set the video standard of your cameras. Please refer to DVMB554SDK_Manual.
