    摘要: A method and apparatus for receiving video signals from a plurality of video cameras, such as in a video surveillance system. The video cameras are each coupled to provide a video signal to a respective input of a multiplexer. The multiplexer routes a selected one of the video signals to a video decoder. The video decoder receives the selected video signal and is conditioned according to the video signal. This includes synchronizing the video decoder to a frequency and phase of the video signal, controlling a gain level for the video signal and adjusting a dc clamping level for dc restoration of the video signal. Parameters representative of each of these quantities are stored in association with the identity of the corresponding video camera. The video decoder also places each video signal into a format suitable for storage in a storage device and for display by a display device. As the multiplexer is utilized to cycle through the cameras according to a sequence, the parameters for each camera are retrieved and utilized to initialize the video decoder for decoding the video signal received from the corresponding camera. As a result, the amount of time required to condition the video decoder according to the video signal received from each camera is significantly reduced. Accordingly, the present invention allows a surveillance system to cycle through a plurality of cameras in less time than prior systems having a single decoder, but without higher costs associated with prior systems which employ multiple video decoders.

    摘要: A wide-band, high-order, programmable video filter is implemented using transimpedance-based active integrators. An input voltage which may for instance represent a composite video signal is converted to a current in a linear manner using resistors and provided to a current amplifier at low impedance virtual ground nodes. The current is multiplied by a gain factor .beta..sub.R within the current amplifier and supplied to integrating capacitors connected in a feedback configuration around a high input impedance differential amplifier to establish an integrated differential voltage output. The transimpedance-based active integrators may be interconnected to realize wide-band, high-order video filters suitable for use in accordance with CCIR 601 standards. Input voltage swings are not restricted by a transistor's limited range of linear operation or voltage swing limitations of internal nodes but rather may allowed to swing as long as the bias currents sustain input current excursions. Thus, pre-filter attenuation and post-filter amplification is not required, thereby allowing CCIR 601 standard compliant video filters to be fabricated, in accordance with the present invention, as a single chip IC.

    摘要: Provided herein are methods and systems that provide automatic compensation for frequency attenuation of a video signal transmitted over a cable. In accordance with an embodiment, a system includes an equalizer and a compensation controller. The equalizer receives a video signal that was transmitted over a cable, provides compensation for frequency attenuation that occurred during the transmission over the cable, and outputs a compensated video signal. The compensation controller automatically adjusts the compensation provided by the equalizer based on comparisons of one or more portions of the compensated video signal to one or more reference voltage levels. The compensating is selectively locked and reset in response to specific conditions being detected, e.g., a locking condition and a reset condition.
