Special handling instructions
The circuit board contains CMOS circuitry that is sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD).
Special care should be taken in handling, transporting, and installing circuit board to
prevent ESD damage to the board. In particular:
• Do not remove the circuit board from its protective anti-static bag until you
are ready to install the board into the enclosure.
•
Handle the circuit board only at grounded, ESD protected stations.
• Remove power from the equipment before installing or removing the circuit
board.

Introduction
Model 810 is a PCI-Express 4-channel frame/video capture device, designed for the
applications requiring broadcast-grade video quality and high capture rate from multiple
input video channels. It supports capturing from NTSC/PAL/SECAM video sources.
For the need of audio capturing, Model 810 provides four channels of stereo or
monochrome audio capturing associated with four channels of video respectively.
Also, as designated as a broadcast grade product, it supports VBI (Vertical Blanking
Interval) like used for Closed Caption or Teletext applications.
For each video channel, the capturing frame rate is up to 30 fps for NTSC and 25 fps for
PAL. It makes total frame/video capturing rate up to 120 fps for NTSC and 100 fps for
PAL. The capturing resolution can be from followings: D1.N (NTSC), D1.P (PAL), VGA,
QVGA, QQVGA, SIF, 2SIF, 4SIF, CIF, QCIF, SQCIF, 4CIF.
Associated with each channel, general digital I/O signals are provided, for the control
and/or alarming purpose.
A single +3.3V power supply through PCI-Express bus is required to power the board.
Model 810 implements a single-lane (x1) PCI-Express interface. It can be plugged into a
PCI Express slot of any width.

Software
Device Driver and SDK
Device driver and SDK including driver API & demo application programs are available
for both Windows and Linux.
Windows
Sensoray Co. provides Model 810 WDM driver and DirectX filter for Windows platform.
The SDK includes the Windows driver, DLL, Demo application & source code, etc. It is
packaged in a “s811_v1xx.zip” file for distribution and/or for customer(s) to download
from Sensoray’s website.
Refer to the “Model 811/810 Windows SDK User’s Manual” for the SDK, DLL, API, and
programming details.
Since the driver is built and based on the WDM BDA and DirectShow oriented
architecture, the Microsoft GraphEdit utility can be used for building live A/V preview
and/or capturing application. Also, 3rd party OSS/freeware/shareware like VLC player,
AMCap, MPC (Media Player Classic), and VirtualDub software can be used for still/live
video capturing and/or preview.
Linux
The device driver for Linux is natively provided by kernel.org and comes with most
commonly used or popular Linux distributions. The API complies with standard V4L2
(Video for Linux Version 2), formerly known as V4L (Video for Linux). The API spec and
capturing sample program can be downloaded from following websites:
http://v4l2spec.bytesex.org/
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/video4linux/API/V4L2_API/spec-single/v4l2.html
In addition to the application samples from V4L/V4L2, Sensoray Co. provides customized
capturing sample/demo programs and HOW-TO type of app/instruction notes for the
Model 810/811, upon customer’s requests.
For live video preview or capturing, commonly used V4L application programs like
XawTV and TV-Time can be used for capturing/previewing from each channel of the
Model 810/811.
For capturing JPEG frame, MPEG-1/2/4, H.264 or MJPEG video, 3rd party’s or OSS
libraries or CODECs can be used and integrated in the application programs. As a good
example, FFMPEG is a well-know and highly recommended OSS that can be used for the
Model 810/811. Sensoray Co. provides an allocation note on how to use command-line
based FFMPEG to capture A/V (Video or Audio).
