ECTVP-200-2
STAND ALONE VIDEO PROCESSING SYSTEM
General Description
The ECTVP series is a stand alone video processing system. The primary input is digital video from as many as 3 color or grayscale cameras. This video is processed by a FPGA that can be loaded with different logic modules as per task. A 32bit 66MHz bus transfers the semi processed video data to a 1200 MIPS DSP for further processing.

_	Video Analysis Feature Tracking Object Tracking Stand Alone Operation

Resulting data can be sent out over dual UARTs or a USB port. Multiple cameras can be syncronized and control commands can be sent over I2C. Three serialized LVDS receivers can allow for camera placement of up to 30 feet with frame rates from 30FPS to 90FPS progressive scan VGA. A convienent NTSC encoder allows for the digital video to be previewed on a standard monitor. The board is capable of tracking many different types of objects under various conditions. An objects properties can be defined by size, shape, color and texture. The board can also be used for static image analysis such as alignment and defect testing. The small size and large pallet of functions make the ECTVP ideal for many low cost digital video applications.
