Videum 4400
Videum 4400
The Videum 4400 is a four-channel audio and video PCI capture card for
surveillance and video recording applications. It supports 4 composite
video (BNC) inputs out of which 4 channels can be simultaneously and
independently captured at full rate and full resolution.
Four single ended analog audio stereo inputs can be independently
captured in CD quality through a Mini Din 8 connector.
The Videum 4400 capture card performs hardware time stamping for
reliable, sustained audio-video synchronization.
System Interface
The board is based on Winnov proprietary advanced PCI interface and
data streams optimization circuit and includes four video processor
chips, four stereo audio codecs and a TTL Input/Output chip. It hosts a
32 bit PCI bus interface running at 33 MHz to provide complete
software compatibility with most video applications.
The Windows plug and play manager recognizes the board as four
independent audio and video devices. Therefore each audio and video
channel is handled by an independent driver. Each driver handles both
video and audio data streams.
Features of your Videum 4400 capture card
• Captures four independent audio and video channels at full video
size and full resolution on one PCI card
- 25 fps per channel
simultaneously
.
• Real time capture and preview of analog video streams.
• Programmable capture resolution, frame rate and compression
settings for each video stream.
• Supports multi-processor systems.
• Supports multiple boards per installation.
• Integrated Watchdog function for autoreboot. Automatic failure log
bug tracking.
• On-board digital I/O triggers providing alert detection event
signaling.
• Remotely controllable image properties via your web-browser.

• State of the art professional video quality through double rate oversampling.
• Summed stereo headphone output provides audio monitoring and wave
output of all four channels.
• Professional locking BNC connectors for video input.
• 75 Ohm termination can be individually disabled (via jumpers). This feature
allows cascading of video inputs and insertion of the card into an existing
video link without requirement of an additional video amplifier or router .

T ermination of Video Inputs
75 Ohm termination jumper for the video inputs
Each of the four video inputs (BNC1-4) is terminated on-board with 75
Ohm. For proper video reception this termination is mandatory. I t is
based on the assumption that there is only one video source and one
video input per link, which is the normal case. Refer to figure 1.8 to
locate the jumpers on the board.
There are cases however where this termination might not be desired.
For example:
• The card is inserted into an existing video link via a T-piece.
• All four inputs are fed from a single video source for example to
provide 4 streams with different resolutions from the same video
stream.
• Several Videum 4400/4100 cards are cascaded or run in parallel to
other video equipment.
In these cases the video termination requires a video amplifier/
repeater. However, with the Videum 4400/4100, this can be avoided by
individually disabling the termination. To disable the termination,
remove the jumper. Only one termination must remain per video link
as close as possible to the end of the whole link.

Watchdog Capabilities
Winnov Watchdog is a crash-recovery function that automatically
reboots the system in the event of a software lock-up. This allows for
complete unattended operation, 24x7x365. The Watchdog feature is
particularly useful for systems that are operated in a remote location
and/or mission critical applications.
Connecting the W atchdog Reset Cable
If you want to take advantage of the Watchdog function, you need to
connect the Watchdog reset cable b etween your motherboard and
your Videum board.
1. Once your computer is off and unplugged, connect the 4-pin
connector of the W atchdog reset cable to the white W atchdog
housing connector on your Videum board, as shown in Figure 1.17.
Figure 1.16 : 4-pin connector of the
Watchdog reset cable
The Watchdog reset cable connector will only fit into the housing
connector on Videum board in one direction.
Figure 1.17: W atchdog reset housing
connector on Videum board
2. Unplug your computer’ s reset cable where it c onnects to the
motherboard. To locate the reset cable, please refer to the
motherboard’s manual.
3. Connect the 2-pin connector of the W a tchdog reset cable ( Figure
1.18) to the reset pins now opened on the motherboard.
