Camber Corporation Sensor Systems Division

The 8510 PCI-Bus Programmable Video Board is a PCI 32-Bit standard Universal short card designed to output data representing sync, blanking, and one channel of RGB analog video (NTSC Composite and S-Video). The 8510 board replaces the Camber 8010 and 8020 video boards.

Key Features:

Can be programmed to generate the following video:
- EIA-343-A, 60 Hz, Interlaced 2:1
- VGA, 60Hz, Non-Interlaced
- RS-170A, 30 Hz, Interlaced
- NTSC Composite and S-Video
- Custom video formats
32-bit Slave read/write PCI Video Interface board
Pixel clock rate generated on board
Blanking and Sync pulses are generated automatically
Frame buffer has 4 Mbytes of on-board memory
Control and Status registers are memory mapped and may be written to or read from for initialization and board operation
Simultaneous scans and writes may occur to update memory when needed
Conforms to:
- EIA Standard RS-170 (November 1957)
- EIA Standard EIA-343-A (September 1969)
- IBM VGA Reference Manual
Operates under Linux or Windows operating systems

Physical Description

The 8510 PCI-Bus Programmable Video Board is implemented on a PCI 32-Bit standard Universal short board. The board interfaces with the PCI bus back plane. At the front of the video board, there are three right angle connectors: one F-type (NTSC Composite) and one miniature 4-position DIN type (S-video) used for the analog video signals, and one HD DB-15 (VGA) used for VGA, RS170, and EIA-343-A video signals.
