1 Introduction

1.1 Product Description

The AL37204 Video Processor EVB is an evaluation pr oduct that demonstrates a total solution for video surveillance applications using Averlogic IC chips. This EVB product receives video streams from up to 4 cameras to be processed and shown on a monitor in a variety of convenient display formats. The main components include one video decoder (AL24 4) for processing 4 channels of analog video inputs, one video decoder (AL240) for analog to digital conversion for video playback input, and one video processor (AL37 204). It is a low-cost, easy solution for real-time video surveillance applicati ons that use 4-channel video output to TV monitors, VCRs and digital storage devices. The AL37204 provides four analog CVBS video input connectors. It has cost- effective, high-quality NTSC/PAL video decoding technology with adaptive comb-filter Y/C separation processing and quad video processing. It is also equipped with BCS (Brightness, Contrast, Saturation and Hue) control, Scale Down Function, Re-play function, Zoom, Freeze, Internal OSD overlay, Motion Detection and PIP/POP display capabilities for monitoring and controlling video surveillance devices.

2 Quick Setup

2.1 Attach power cable

The power adapter unit itself will be attached to the Plexiglas. Attach one end of the power cable to the adapter and the other end to a wall socket with the appropriate voltage.

2.2 Attach TV monitor

(requires CVBS w/ RCA connector) Attach your monitor to the J2 connector, located near the power adapter. Turn on your monitor.

2.3 Attach camera

(requires CVBS w/ RCA connector) Attach your camera to one of the four video input connectors on the rear panel located on the right- most side of the panel. Turn on the camera and begin transmitting a picture.

2.4 Turn on board power

After you turn on your camera and TV monitor, toggle the power switch (sw2), which is located on the main board near the power adapter connector. The green LED, D5, will illuminate. If it does not, check the power supply connections. Your monitor should display the picture that your camera is transmitting. If it is not displaying the video, your connections may not be secure or your camera may be setup with the wrong standard (PAL or NTSC), for which you will need to review the configuration section below.

3.3 Keypad Panel

The Keypad Panel comes connected to the Main Board with a ribbon cable. It contains 8 buttons, 9 LEDs and an IR sensor. The LED 9 illuminates when power is supplied to the board. The other LEDs (1-8) illuminate when the corresponding buttons above them are depressed. The buttons are used to manipulate the screen display and configure options pertaining to information on the screen. The functions on the panel buttons correspond to the diagram shown below. A remote control is also supplied with the package and can be used instead of pressing buttons on the Keypad panel. The labeled remote control buttons, located on the diagram to the right, correspond to the buttons shown above and are the only functional buttons used with this board. The other buttons are disabled and non-functional.

Is also used to display CH-1 in single panel display. See the “System Menu” section for a complete description of all functions.

4 System Menu

4.1 Main Menu

Pressing the “Menu” button (sw4) will bring up the Main Menu in the center of the screen, where you can select from 7 items. Use the up/down arrow keys (sw10, sw11) to reach your selection. Use the “enter” key (sw7) to execute the function. You can use the sw4 button to also return to the previous screen.

4.2 System Setup

The System Setup screen allows you to configure the date, time, and video standard (PAL, NTSC). You can also lock the buttons on the panel. The only way to unlock the panel is to power down the system or use your remote control, as it is not affected by the lock. You can also reset to the factory settings. Since this is an evaluation board, simply powering down the system will also reset the settings back to the defaults. Use your up/down, left/right arrow keys to navigate the screen and the “enter” key (sw7) to accept the configuration.

4.3 Display Setup

In the Display Setup you have options to display the Date and Time on the screen. You can also display a “Title” on the screen which represents one of the four cameras. The title will be in the format “CHXX” (e.g. CH01). An asterisk next to the item indicates that it is selected to be displayed. The border line color that separates the different camera panels on the screen can also be changed. An asterisk next to the color indicates the current selection.

4.4 Auto Sequence

When auto sequencing is in effect (sw5), the system will display the different screen modes (1 panel, 2 panel, 3 panel etc.) one after the other in succession. This setup screen allows you to configure the amount of time (in seconds) that any particular display mode screen will pause on the screen once displayed.

4.5 Camera Setup

This screen allows you to set values for the “Brightness”, “Contrast”, “Saturation” and “Hue” for each camera. You can also set the “Mirror” function which horizontally flips the display picture for any camera.

4.6 Motion Setup

You can configure motion detection options on this screen. You can first enable and disable motion detection for each camera. You can also setup motion detection sensitivity for each camera; these values are in hexadecimal with “000” representing the most sensitive. After you have enabled Motion Detection for a camera, you can run your hand across the camera lens and you will see the motion detection displayed on the screen, represented by small black squares. As you adjust the “sensitivity” of a camera’s motion detection, the number of squares will increase or decrease inversely with the sensitivity setting.

4.7 Event Setup

Alert situations such as Motion Detection (Motion) and Loss of Picture (Lose) can be detected for each Channel (camera). You can turn detection functionality on and off for each channel. You can also set the Alarm function for each camera which, for this EVB system, records an entry for each alert in an Alert file that you view in the Event Report screen (see below)..

4.8 Event Report

The Event Report function displays all of the alerts (Motion Detection and Loss of Picture) that have been recorded in the Alert file. Note that with this evaluation board, you can only record up to 6 alerts. You can delete all of the alerts in the file by moving to the “DEL ALL” option at the bottom-right corner of this screen and pressing “enter” (sw7).

5 Display Modes

By pressing sw8, sw9, sw10 or sw11, you can display any one of the 4 channels (cameras) in single display mode (as shown). By pressing the “sw4” button on the Auxiliary Panel, the system will toggle through the different types of display modes available, as shown below. Since this product is only an evaluation board with support for 4 cameras, 6-channel and 9-channel displays show duplicated channels for demonstration purposes.
