The iPORT Analog-Pro IP Engine
The iPORT Analog-Pro IP engine allows for expansion of a GigE Vision video network to include high-
value analog cameras. Compact and simple to integrate, the IP engine transmits high-quality video from
analog cameras with low, predictable latency. Able to transmit video from up to two analog cameras
simultaneously, this video transmitter is ideal for systems integrators looking to realize the benefits of
networked video connectivity, while re-using high-value analog cameras.
The IP engine is compatible with the GigE Vision and GenICam™ standards for communication over a
Gigabit Ethernet link, which increases interoperability between products from different manufacturers,
while dramatically lowering system cost and complexity. With Gigabit Ethernet, cabling distances of up
to 100 m can be achieved using standard CAT5/6 cabling; by incorporating common, off-the-shelf
switches, cabling distances can be unlimited. Decreased cable size, increased flexibility, and a tighter cable
bend radius are a few of the additional benefits gained when using Gigabit Ethernet for video transfer.
The iPORT Analog-Pro IP engine provides software-controlled general purpose inputs and outputs
(GPIO), as well as two RS-232 ports to control external accessories, such as motorized wipers and pan/
tilt housings. Able to transmit video at full resolution at up to 30 frames per second with low, consistent
latency, the iPORT Analog-Pro IP engine is available as a compact, low-power OEM board set designed
for use in a variety of housings. Compatible with the Pleora Technologies vDisplay™ HDI-Pro IP engines,
as well as the Pleora Technologies feature-rich application toolkit, eBUS™ SDK, the iPORT Analog-Pro
IP engine enables analog cameras to become part of a complete networked video connectivity solution.
Product Formats: Board Set and Enclosed Unit
The iPORT Analog-Pro IP engine is available as either a compact board set designed for use in a variety
of housings, or as an enclosed unit, in a compact and rugged case that can be used in a variety of
applications as a stand-alone component within a simple point-to-point GigE network, or as part of a
larger switched GigE network.

Interlaced Configures the IP engine to decode the video coming from the camera as
interlaced video.
Deinterlacing Performs Line Duplication or Weaving.
After you change the InputVideoFormat, Interlaced, and Deinterlacing features, you may need to adjust
the Width, Height, or image offset (as the settings may now be invalid).

8iPORT Analog-Pro IP Engine User Guide
Hardware Deinterlacing
Deinterlacing requires a receiver to buffer two fields and recombine them into full frames. The IP engine
supports field-type combination deinterlacing for video captured from analog cameras. Two types of
field-type deinterlacing are line insertion (weaving) and line duplication:
•
Weaving is a method of deinterlacing that inserts the odd horizontal scanning lines of one field between
the even horizontal scanning lines of another field. Artifacts associated with this video deinterlacing
method are combing, and for this reason it is recommended for images with restricted motion.
•
Line duplication is a method of deinterlacing that adds repeated horizontal lines of both the odd and
even horizontal scanning fields. For example, lines 1 and 3 of one field are duplicated, and produce lines
2 and 4, respectively. There is a loss of vertical resolution associated with this deinterlacing method and
it can introduce the video artifact referred to as “bobbing”. This method is suitable for images with larger
amounts of motion.
