PCL PCI L PCI card with LTCreader PCL PCI LV PCI analog video card with VITC and LTC reader PCL PCI D PCI digital video card with DVITC, ATC, UMID, Metadata and LTCreader PCL PCI HD PCI HD video card with DVITC, ATC, UMID, Metadata and LTCreader PCL PCI TS PCI card with LTC reader and Windows software for real time synchronization |
AV PCL Time Code reader cards for the PCI bus are an important computer hardware solution for software development in fields such as subtitling, computer controlled editing, interactive-video, technical scientific analysis, and other applications that are based on picture accurate video processing.
Driver compatibility between analog, digital and HD video cards enables you to design a software which is interoperable with any Alpermann+Velte PCI card. Each card has its own processor system with a register set for data transfer. Thus the critical time routines are completely decoupled from the PC's CPU, which enables extensive error checking.
An auto-matic frame rate detection (24, 25, 30, 30 DF) is supported as well as the parallel operation of two or more PCL PCI-Cards. Drivers and examplary programs for Windows 98/ME/NT 4.0/2000/XP and Linux are included. DLL functions for reading Time Code and configuration are given. C/C++, Visual Basic and Delphi are also supported.

PCL PCI D card
Working with ATC, UMID and Metadata formats offers new opportunities regarding the application area of PCL PCID and PCL PCI HD cards. This data is carried in the Ancillary Data portion of the digital video.
The „Monochrome Transfer“ method of MPEG transfer is available for use with this hardware. PCL PCI HD also offers an integrated logic analyzer for the digital video signal.
PCL PCI TS was designed for the synchronization of a Windows NT/2000 or XP system clock with a realtime locked LTC Time Code signal. The included Windows program "TimeSys" controls the realtime process.
