    Digital Video Quality Handbook (May 2013

    Digital Video Quality Handbook May 2013 This page intentionally left blank. Executive Summary Under the direction of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), First Responders Group (FRG), Office for Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC), the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL), worked with the Security Industry Association (including Steve Surfaro) and members of the Video Quality in Public Safety (VQiPS) Working Group to develop the May 2013 Video Quality Handbook. This document provides voluntary guidance for providing levels of video quality in public safety applications for network video surveillance. Several video surveillance use cases are presented to help illustrate how to relate video component and system performance to the intended application of video surveillance, while meeting the basic requirements of federal, state, tribal and local government authorities. Characteristics of video surveillance equipment are described in terms of how they may influence the design of video surveillance systems. In order for the video surveillance system to meet the needs of the user, the technology provider must consider the following factors that impact video quality: 1) Device categories; 2) Component and system performance level; 3) Verification of intended use; 4) Component and system performance specification; and 5) Best fit and link to use case(s). An appendix is also provided that presents content related to topics not covered in the original document (especially information related to video standards) and to update the material as needed to reflect innovation and changes in the video environment. The emphasis is on the implications of digital video data being exchanged across networks with large numbers of components or participants.

    Model 5280 Digital to Analog Composite Video Converter Data Pack

    Model 5280 Digital to Analog Composite Video Converter Data Pack ENSEMBLE DESIGNS Revision 2.1 SW v2.0 This data pack provides detailed installation, configuration and operation information for the 5280 Digital to Analog Composite Video Converter and the 5210 Genlock option submodule as part of the Avenue Signal Integration System. The module information in this data pack is organized into the following sections: • Module Overview • Applications • Installation • Cabling • Module Configuration and Control ° Front Panel Controls and Indicators ° Avenue PC Remote Control ° Avenue Touch Screen Remote Control • Troubleshooting • Software Updating • Warranty and Factory Service • Specifications 5280-1 Model 5280 Video DAC MODULE OVERVIEW The 5280 module converts serial digital component video into composite analog video. Six separate composite or two Y/C (S-video) analog video outputs are available. The following analog formats are supported: • NTSC Composite with or without setup • PAL Composite A serial output BNC is provided for applications requiring the serial digital input signal to loop-through to another device. Output timing can be adjusted relative to a reference input signal by installing the 5210 Genlock Option, a submodule that plugs onto the 5280 circuit board. Incorporating a full- frame synchronizer, the 5210 also allows the 5280 to accept serial inputs that are asyn- chronous to the reference. As shown in the block diagram on the following page, the serial digital input signal first passes through serial receiver circuitry then on to EDH processing and deserializing. The serial output signal goes to a cable driver and is then AC coupled to a loop-through output BNC on the backplane.

    Analog to Digital Converter User Guide

    Analog to Digital Converter User Guide ENSEMBLE DESIGNS Revision 5 SW v1.0.7 This user guide provides detailed information for using the BrightEye™2 Analog to Digital Converter. The information in this user guide is organized into the following sections: • Product Overview • Functional Description • Applications • Rear Connections • Operation • Front Panel Controls and Indicators • Using The BrightEye Control Application • Warranty and Factory Service • Specifications • Glossary BrightEye-1 BrightEye 2 Analog to Digital Converter PRODUCT OVERVIEW The BrightEye 2 Converter is a self-contained unit that provides uncompromised analog to digital conversion of component and composite video. Analog inputs are digitized at 12 bits of resolution with 4x oversampling. Composite video is processed through an adaptive comb filter decoder. PAL and NTSC input detection is automatic. Signal I/O and power is supplied to the rear of the unit. It is powered by a modular style power supply. Supporting both Beta and SMPTE component, composite and Y/C formats, BrightEye 2 adapts to many conversion needs. Use BrightEye 2 to digitize analog VTR and camera outputs for example. Front panel controls permit the user to monitor input status, select input type, and adjust video gain. Control and monitoring can also be done using the BrightEye Control application from a personal computer with USB support. A glossary of commonly used video terms is provided at the end of this guide. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The BrightEye 2 converter can perform analog to digital conversion on a variety of television signal formats, in both the 525/60Hz (NTSC) and 625/50Hz (PAL) line standards. The converter supports the NTSC and PAL composite standards, Y/C, and color difference analog component formats.
  • Types of Video Signals

    Types of Video Signals

    WIKIPEDIA SOURCE TYPES OF VIDEO SIGNALS Component video is a video signal that has been split into two or more component channels. In popular use, it refers to a type of component analog video (CAV) information that is transmitted or stored as three separate signals. Component video can be contrasted with composite video (NTSC, PAL or SECAM) in which all the video information is combined into a single line-level signal that is used in analog television. Like composite, component-video cables do not carry audio and are often paired with audio cables. When used without any other qualifications the term component video generally refers to analog YPbPr component video with sync on luma. Analog component video Reproducing a video signal on a display device (for example, a Cathode ray tube) (CRT) is a straightforward process complicated by the multitude of signal sources. DVD, VHS, computers and video game consoles all store, process and transmit video signals using different methods, and often each will provide more than one signal option. One way of maintaining signal clarity is by separating the components of a video signal so that they do not interfere with each other. A signal separated in this way is called "component video". S-Video, RGB and YPbPr signals comprise two or more separate signals: hence, all are component-video signals. For most consumer-level applications, analog component video is used. Digital component video is slowly becoming popular in both computer and home-theatre applications. Component video is capable of carrying signals such as 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, and 1080i.

A unit interval (UI) is defined as the time between two adjacent signal receiver estimates the required high-frequency compensation (equalization) based on the Format 1125/60/2:1 750/60/1:1 525/59.94/2:1, 625/50/2:1, 1250/50/2:1 transitions, which is the reciprocal of clock frequency. UI is 3.7 ns for digital component 525 / 625 (SMPTE remaining half-clock-frequency energy as the signal arrives.
