Introduction

Models 2464/3364 capture video from an SDI, DVI, VGA or component source. Model
2464 has Ethernet interface, whereas model 3364 has a USB 3.0 interface. Model 3364
captures uncompressed HD/SD video in resolutions up to 1080p60, and will overlay
and compress resolutions up to 1080p30. It can simultaneously send both compressed
and uncompressed video to the host computer. Model 2464 captures compressed video
and sends it over the Ethernet in several different formats.

Analog audio can be captured from a microphone or line source using an optional
3364TA accessory board. Audio may be sent uncompressed, or it may be compressed
and multiplexed into a transport stream along with compressed video, or both
simultaneously.

The 3364 is a UVC (USB Video Class) device, which means it does not require a device­specific driver and can be easily controlled using popular video APIs such as
DirectShow and Video4Linux. Sensoray provides Software Development Kits (SDKs)
for several operating systems to accelerate application development. Our fully
functional demo program illustrates model 3364's capabilities and serves as an excellent
starting point for custom designs.

The video processor implements efficient H.264 video compression, producing output
data formatted as either MPEG transport stream (MPEG-TS) or in MP4 or AVI file
formats. Audio compression is performed using AAC-LC. The stream multiplexer
employs high precision hardware timestamps to ensure perfect audio-video sync on
players. Snapshot capture is also supported, with MJPEG compression available for
both snapshots and AVI streams.

For video resolutions up to 1080p30, the 3364 can pass through unaltered or downsized
video while adding Unicode text and graphical overlays (which may uploaded in real
time via USB). Audio pass-through is available with an optional, attached 3364TA
board. Embedded audio can also be extracted from SDI signal.

The units have one input and one output video connector. Depending on the model
number, both connectors are either DVI or SDI. DVI models can capture video from a
DVI, VGA or component video source (with appropriate adaptors), and output DVI.
SDI models accept SDI signals per SMPTE 259M(C), SMPTE 292M, and SMPTE 424M.

Models 2464 and 3364 are available as a bare boards or in a robust metal enclosure.

System Requirements

For model 3364 a computer with native USB 3.0 port is recommended. PCIe USB 3.0
extension cards may not provide bandwidth sufficient for 1080p60 video.

Supported operating systems:

Windows 7, 8, 10;

Linux 2.6, 3.x, 4.x.

Model 2464 requires a 100Base-TX Ethernet connection. Power-over-Ethernet (POE) is
supported, as well as an external 5V power supply. The default Ethernet address is

192.168.24.64, net mask 255.255.0.0.

Firmware updates

Both models 2464 and 3364 feature flash memory that contains the firmware used to
operate the hardware on the device. This firmware can updated in the field to fix
problems or add new features.

Model 3364 firmware update

Firmware can be updated by selecting an Update option in the demo application or by
calling the corresponding SDK function. Upon those actions the device reconnects as a
USB mass storage device with the name Update2263. (If the AutoPlay menu appears,
choose the “Open folder to view files option”). In this mode, a new firmware file may
be copied to the Update2263 folder. While the file is being written to the flash memory,
the red LED blinks. Do not uplug the device while the red LED is blinking. After the
update is complete, the Update2263 folder is closed, and the 3364 reconnects as a UVC
device. To cancel the update mode without updating firmware, right click the
Update2263 removable device in Computer and click Eject. In the unlikely event that a
firmware update was interrupted in a way that prevents the device from operating, an
original firmware mode (Safe Boot mode) is available. To enter Safe Boot mode, press
and hold the button through the hole below the indicator LEDs while connecting the
USB cable. The red LED will illuminate, indicating the original firmware has entered
firmware update mode and a new firmware image may be applied. After the procedure
is complete, in order to switch to the newly updated firmware, the power needs to be
cycled by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable.

Model 2464 firmware update

The firmware update is initiated using web interface. That requires a computer, located
on the same network as the 2464. Using any browser connect to the 2464, and select
Firmware Update, which will bring up the window that displays the versions of the
device's firmware components and the serial number. To update the firmware, choose
the file (s2464.fw provided by Sensoray) and press Submit. The firmware update should
take about 30 seconds to complete. Do not unplug the device while the firmware update
is in process. If a firmware update is interrupted, the device will attempt to load from a
backup firmware image. During the update the red LED flashes and update status is
displayed in the Firmware Status field of the web page. If the update has completed
successfully a message “Firmware result: ok” is displayed in a pop-up window. All
device settings are preserved across the firmware update. To reset the all parameters on

15

the device, click the Reset Parameters button. That will reset the network settings as
well, but the change to those will take effect only after the power is cycled. This allows
setting an IP address different from the default (192.168.24.64) even after parameters
reset, if necessary.
