The three streams can be encoded concurrently with any of the following encoding methods:
□HEVC (H.265) main profile,
□AVC (H.264) baseline, main, or high profiles,
□MJPEG.
The high-quality HEVC (H.265) / AVC (H.264) hardware encoder engine is capable of encoding
multiple streams with an aggregate pixel rate up to 160,000,000 pixels per second (equivalent to
1080p77).
The MJPEG encoder is capable of encoding multiple streams with an aggregate pixel rate up to
62,208,000 pixels per second (equivalent to 1080p30).
Audio features
Picolo.net HD1 acquires 2-channel audio from one of HDMI, SDI or analog audio sources.

1.2. Video Processing Chain
Video Processing Chain
The video processing chain is composed of the following elements:
□One video front end including 2 video interfaces, 1 video source multiplexer, 1 video de-
interlacer,
□Two video scalers,
□Three video encoders.
Video front end
●The video multiplexer selects the SDI source or the HDMI source. The SDI interface
implements a 3G-SDI receiver capable of automatically identifying and decoding HD-SDI and
3G-SDI audio/video signals up to 1080p60. The HDMI interface implements a single-link HDMI
1.4 receiver capable of automatically identifying and decoding audio/video signals up to
1080p30.
●The de-interlacer converts interlaced-scan video streams to progressive-scan video streams
keeping the native resolution and the native frame rate of the video
●The progressive scan video stream is fed to the three encoders and to the two scalers.
Picolo.net Getting Started 1. Description

Video scalers
●The two video scalers scale down (or up) the full resolution progressive scan video stream:
●The video scaler #1 delivers a video data stream having a resolution up to 1280 pixels wide
(720p).
●The video scaler #2 deliver a video data stream having a resolution up to 640 pixels wide
(480p).
●The video scalers are exposed to the user as additional encoders that have access to a
restricted set of resolutions.
Video encoders
●There are three video encoders: one AVC (H.264), one HEVC (H.265) and one MJPEG encoder.
●Multiple video encoders can be instantiated, processing either unscaled video streams, or one
of the video scalers output.
●Free mixing of AVC (H.264) and HEVC (H.265) encoding is allowed as long as the total amount
of data to encode does not exceed 160 Mega-pixels per second.
Video Processing Capabilities
Property Value Note
AVC (H.264) encoded streams count 3 0 or 1 stream for each available resolution
(full, scaler #1, scaler #2)
Frame rate control Yes
Total H.264/H.265 encoding power
[Mpixels/second] 160 Equivalent to 77 frames of 1920 x 1080 pixels per second
H.264/H.265 encoding power requirements for some stream combinations
Programming Model
The application software manages the video processing resources using one ONVIF Media Profile
for each encoded video stream.
An ONVIF Media Profile associates one VideoSourceConfiguration and one
VideoEncoderConfiguration.

1.3. Access Control
Access Policy
Picolo.net HD1 products implement the default access policy that is recommended by the ONVIF
2.2 Core Specification.
The policy implements four user levels Administrator, Operator, User, and Anonymous.
●Administrator, Operator, and User levels requires the user to be registered in the device user
database and to authenticate before to gain access to protected device services. Non-
authenticated users belongs to the Anonymous-level.
●Anonymous-level users have only access to the services belonging to the following service
class:
□"PRE_AUTH" class: a set of service functions not requiring user authentication, for
instance: Device:GetCapabilities,Device:GetServices...
●In addition to the access rights of Anonymous-level users, User-level have access to the
following service classes:
□The "READ_SYSTEM" class: a set of service functions reading the system configuration
from the device.
□The "READ_MEDIA" class; a set of service functions reading the media configuration data.
●In addition to the access rights of User-level users, Operator-level have access to the
following service class:
□The "ACTUATE" class: a set a service functions affecting the runtime behaviour.
●An Administrator-level user has access to all function classes. It has an exclusive access to the
following service classes:
□The "READ_SYSTEM_SECRET" class: a set of service functions reading confidential system
configuration from the device.
□The "WRITE_SYSTEM" class: a set of service functions causing changes to the system
configuration of the device.
□The "UNRECOVERABLE" class: a set of service functions causing unrecoverable changes to
the system configuration of the device.
User Authentication
Picolo.net HD1 products implement the following user authentication mechanisms to control the
access to its resources:
□HTTP and RTSP authentication using the "HTTP Digest Authentication" mechanism
□WS authentication using the WS-Security “Username Token” mechanism, with the
“Password Digest” password type.
□Web Pages through login/password dialog box.
Picolo.net Getting Started 1. Description

Enabling access control
●Access control is automatically enabled when at least one Administrator-level user exists in
the user database.
●An out-of-box Picolo.net HD1 product is delivered with an empty user database.
●The access control remains disabled until an Administrator-level user is created.
Disabling access control
●Access control can be disabled by deleting all the Administrator-level users of the user
database.
●Access control is also disabled after performing the "Reset to Factory Settings" procedure.

1.4. Precautions of Use
Damage caused by improper handling is not covered by the manufacturer warranty.
Risk of electrical shock
□Do not operate the device with removed enclosure cover.
□Use exclusively isolated DC power sources with the adequate voltage and power ratings.
□Operate the device and its power supply only in a dry, weather-protected location.
Risk of permanent damage
□Electronic devices can be damaged by electrostatic discharges.
□Euresys devices are compliant with electrostatic discharges regulatory requirements.
However, it is required to apply any general procedure aimed at reducing the risk
associated to electrostatic discharge.
Risk of malfunction due to EMI
□Electronic devices can be disturbed by electromagnetic interferences.
□Euresys devices are compliant with electromagnetic susceptibility regulatory
requirements. However, it is required to apply any general procedure aimed at reducing
the risk associated to electromagnetic interferences.
Risks due to overheating
□In case of inadequate cooling, the temperature of the device may become excessive,
leading to a device malfunction, permanent damage, and risk of fire.
□The device is designed for fan-less operation and natural air convection cooling. However,
it is required to apply any general procedure aimed at facilitating the circulation of the air
flow around the enclosure.
Risks due to poor grounding protection
□Poor ground interconnection, ground loop or ground fault may induce unwanted voltage
between equipments, causing excessive current in the interconnecting cables. This faulty
situation can damage the electronic devices and its peripherals.
□The computer and the camera can be located in distant areas with distinct ground
connections.
□The user must follow proper equipment grounding practices at all ends of the
interconnecting cables. In addition, it is recommended to use cable assemblies with
overall shield solidly connected to the conductive shell of all connectors. Besides the
beneficial effect of cable shielding on electromagnetic compatibility, the shield connection
can increase the protection level against grounding problems in temporarily absorbing
unwanted faulty current.
