Create the Video Capture Device object as follows:

  1. Go to the Hardware tab in the System settings dialog box (1).
  2. Select Create object -> Video Capture Device in the context menu of the Computer object (2).

    As a result the basic settings toolbar is displayed.

    Note

    Basic settings are set automatically. It is possible to change an ID, object name and parent object.

  3. To create the object, click the Apply button.
  4. Select the created object in the object tree (1).
  5. Configure the created object.

    1. In the Type list select type of the video capture card installed on the Server (2).

    2. Specify the PCI channel by selecting the value in the PCI channel list (3). For cards based on one chip model (ADC) and one driver (see Drivers for video capture cards integrated into the INTELLECT™ software section) there is end-to-end allocation of PCI channels that starts with ‘00’.

      Note

      While configuring SC300Q16 (FX4) or SC300D16 (FX8) or SC330Q16 (analogue of SC300Q16) or SC330D16 (analogue of SC300D16) video capture cards, take into account the correlation between the color of BNC video input interface cable and PCI channel specified by INTELLECT™ software  (see Features of video subsystem configuration section).

    3. In the Signal list select the type of video input (PAL or NTSC) (4).

      Note

      When Stretch VRC 6004, VRC 6008, VRC 6416 and VRC 7008L cards are used, the video input (PAL or NTSC) is selected automatically depending on the camera connected to the card. Change of this parameter does not affect the card operation.

      Note

      When SL16-200 (FX116)/FX416 cards are used, INTELLECT™ software is to be restarted after changing the video input format. Otherwise the previous settings are active.

    4. In the Resolution list (5) select the Standard, High or Full resolution with which the video signal is captured.  This action is to be carried out when WaveHub, LinuxHub or LinuxServer are configured, otherwise this step can be skipped.

    5. Specify allowable frame rate for the card by setting the Speed slider into the corresponding position (6).

      Value

      Description

      Max

      Maximum allowable sum of video frame rate

      Mean

      Half of allowable sum of video frame rate

      Min

      One third of allowable sum of video frame rate

    6. Click the Apply button to save the changes.

Setting the Video Capture Device object is completed.

Attention!

 Configuration of one physical video capture card requires creation of several Video Capture Device objects (see Features of video subsystem configuration section).
