PM-1059 Video Card

1.1 Introduction

The PM-1059 is a 4-channel Video/Audio capture card featuring multi-standard video output functionalities including high-speed transmission of MPEG4/H.263/MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 files. Empowered by its high performance MPEG-4 CODEC chip, PM-1059 can encode and display video/audio simultaneously to achieve a real time stream of video and audio data.

Unlike most video capture cards in the market, the hardware CODEC solution of the PM-1059 requires a much lower CPU resource level than those adapting pure software or hardware/software compression. This remarkable feature makes PM-1059 the ideal solution for multi-channel applications and POS/ATM system integrations.

With our leading-edge technology and professionalism in industrial computing, PM-1059 is designed with high stability and state-of-the-art functionalities to fulfill your needs.

Jumper Label: J1

Jumper Type: 4-pin header

Jumper Settings: See Table 2-6

Jumper Location: See Figure 2-1

NOTE:

A jumper is a metal bridge that is used to close an electrical 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/SHORT a jumper means

connecting the pins of the jumper with Jumper the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip from a jumper.

The PCI signal grouping selection jumper is used to select PCI/104+ addresses, signals and clocks, so that the PM-1059 video card can work properly.

PM-1059 Video Card

3.1 Installation Consideration

NOTE:

The following installation notices and installation considerations should be read and understood before the PM-1059 is installed. All installation notices pertaining to the installation of the PM-1059 should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the PM-1059 and injury to the person installing the PM-1059.

3.2 Unpacking

NOTE:

If any of the items listed below are missing when the PM-1059 is unpacked, do not proceed with the installation and contact the reseller or vendor PM-1059 was purchased from.

3.2.1 Unpacking Precautions

Some components on PM-1059 are very sensitive to static electricity and can be damaged by a sudden rush of power. To protect it from being damaged during the unpacking process, follow these precautions:

The users should ground themselves to remove any static charge before touching the PM-1059. To ground themselves users can wear a grounded wrist strap at all times or frequently touching any conducting materials that is connected to the ground.

Handle the PM-1059 by its edges. Do not touch the IC chips, leads or circuitry unnecessarily.

Page 32 IEI® Technology, Corp.

PM-1059 Video Card

Do not place a PCB on top of an anti-static bag. Only the inside of the bag is safe from static discharge.

3.2.2 Checklist

Do not place a PCB on top of an anti-static bag. Only the inside of the bag is safe from static discharge.

To install the PM-1059 video card onto a SBC, please follow the steps below.

Step 1: Power off the computer and remove the external power cord from the computer.

Step 2: Remove the chassis cover. (See Figure 3-1)

Figure 3-1: Removing Chassis Cover

Page 34 IEI® Technology, Corp.

PM-1059 Video Card

Step 3: Locate the unoccupied PCI/104+ socket on the SBC. (See Figure 3-2)

Figure 3-2: PCI/104+ Socket

Step 4: Mount two spacers onto the two retention screw holes right behind the external

connectors. Mount one spacer onto each retention screw hole.

Step 5: To secure the two spacers to the SBC, insert one plastic retention screw into

each plastic spacer from the bottom surface of the SBC. (See Figure 3-3)

The configuration adapting four PM-1059 cards to a system powered by a

Pentium IV 2.0GHz CPU has been tested and proved effective. Attaching

more than four PM-1059 cards to a system has not been tested and therefore

is not recommended.

GOP (Group of Pictures) Structure Setting

Use the GOP Structure shown in Figure 5-16 below to set the GOP structure by setting N/M and M value.

Figure 5-16: GOP Structure

The PM-1059 uses the N/M ratio and M to organize the GOP structure instead of N, where N is the distance between I-picture (intra-coding picture) to I-picture, and M is the distance between the I-picture to P-picture (forward prediction) or the distance between P-picture to P-picture. Thus, N equals N/M *M. N/M ranges from 1 to 255, and M ranges from 1 to 3.

For example, if N/M=5 and M=3, the GOP structure is formed as follows;

Coding Order: I B B P B B P B B P B B P B B I B B …

Display Order: B B I B B P B B P B B P B B P B B I …

A FAQ

Page 91

PM-1059 Video Card

A.1 Appendix A FAQ

Q1. What kind of compression solution does the PM-1059 use? What are the minimum hardware requirements for using the PM-1059?

ANS.The PM-1059 is an MPEG-4 hardware audio and video encoding/decoding card. The dedicated hardware chip on the card encodes video stream as PS or AVI file formats, and decodes only PS file by hardware chip. Decoding AVI file needs to be performed by software via CPU resource. Usually, decoding four video channels of AVI file with full D1 resolution (720 x 480) needs Pentium IV 3.0G or faster CPU to achieve real-time decoding performance.

Q2. Can the PM-1059 card driver be upgraded directly after the first installation?

ANS. No. To upgrade or re-install PM-1059 device driver, or to add more PM-1059 cards onto the system, the existing PM-1059 device driver must be removed and the system must be rebooted. After that, plug the new card to the system, or install the undated device driver directly.

Q3. When using Windows device manager to remove a single card, the system reboots automatically. How can this problem be solved?

ANS. The computer reboots automatically every time the driver is enabled or installed. This is an OS issue, and is solved in Windows XP Service 2, or later editions.

Q4. Why doesn’t the PM-1059 work properly on some on-board VGA cards? How can this be solved?

ANS. Display of video for four or more channels uses many system and display card resources that some on-board VGA cards may not be able to perform well. Below is a list of VGA card drivers verified by IEI. Please refer to the list when considering the type of VGA card to use with the PM-1059.

Windows 2000 + SP4 for an Intel 865G based VGA card:

VGA driver version 6.14.10.3943, 6.14.10.3619 works fine.

Page 92 IEI® Technology, Corp.

PM-1059 Video Card

Windows XP + SP1 for an Intel 865G based VGA card:

VGA driver version 6.14.10.3943, 6.14.10.3510 works fine.

Windows XP + SP2 for an Intel 865G based VGA card:

VGA driver version 6.14.10.3943 works fine.

Q3. When multiple cards are inserted at the same time, can the same ID be assigned to them?

ANS. No. Each PM-1059 card should be assigned a unique card ID to identify which channels the devices are mapped onto. Identical card ID may cause system malfunction.
