Special handling instructions
The circuit board contains CMOS circuitry that is sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
Special care should be taken in handling, transporting, and installing circuit board to prevent ESD
damage to the board. In particular:
• Do not remove the circuit board from its protective anti-static bag until you are ready to
install the board into the enclosure.
• Handle the circuit board only at grounded, ESD protected stations.
• Remove power from the equipment before installing or removing the circuit board.

Introduction
Model 314 is a PC/104+ MPEG video and/or audio grabber. It captures video and/or audio from a
standard NTSC/PAL analog video source optional with stereo or monochrome audio source into one
of following compressed MPEG streams: MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, H.2 3, or MJPEG. It also
supports capturing raw frames from NTSC/PAL video source. The capturing frame rate is up to 30
fps for NTSC and 25 fps for PAL.
A single +5V input power supply is required to power the board, through PC/104+ connector.

LED
Power-OK indicator, D8.
The LED D8 is used for indicating on-board Power-OK status.
Configuration DIP Switches
A/V routing DIP switch, SW1.
The DIP switch, SW1, is used for choosing audio input routing and video direct loopback routing.
Refer to the following chart to select the A/V routing that you prefer:
DIP ON (down) OFF (up)
SW1-5 J4-pin (AIN-R) == J1-R, and => both of
Audio-in Right1 and Right2 on PCI A/V decoder
Audio-in Right1 <= J4-pin , and
Audio-in Right2 <= SteroeJack J1-R
SW1-4 J4-pin (AIN-L) == J1-L, and => both of
Audio-in Left1 and Left2 on PCI A/V decoder
Audio-in Left1 <= J4-pin7, and
Audio-in Left2 <= SteroeJack J1-L
SW1-3 Composite video out 1 <= Composite video in 1
or S-Video out 1 – Y <= S-Video in 1 – Y
No direct loopback (v-in1=>v-out1)
or (sv-in1-y => sv-out1-y)
SW1-2 Composite video out 2 <= Composite video in 1
or S-Video out 1 – C <= S-Video in 1 – C
No direct loopback (v-in2=>v-out2)
or (sv-in1-c => sv-out1-c)
SW1-1 Composite video out 3 <= Composite video in 1 No direct loopback (v-in3=>v-out3)
Note: in the chart, == presents connected; <= presents “take from”; => presents “pass to”.
PCI slot # select and interrupt routing DIP switch, SW2.
The DIP switch, SW2, is used for selecting PCI slot number and interrupt routing for the Model
314.
Refer to the following tables to choose a right/preferred setting for Model 314 in a (your) PC/104+
stack:
SW2-2 (SelB) SW2-1 (SelA) PCI Slot #
ON (down) ON (down) 0
ON (down) OFF (up) 1
OFF (up) ON (down) 2
OFF (up) OFF (up) 3

Device Driver and SDK
Device driver and SDK including demo application program are available for both Windows and
Linux.
Windows
Sensoray Co. provides 314 WDM driver and DirectX filter for Windows platform. All are packaged in
S314-Win-SDK (coming soon).
Linux
Linux SDK package, s314-lnx-sdk, provides device drive, A/V capturing & streaming service library,
and A/V capturing & streaming over-IP demos, for Linux platform. Currently, kernel version 2.4.23
and/or above are supported.
To demonstrate the application, two server demos are enclosed in Linux SDK, s314-lnx-sdk:
The server cap-server is mainly used for demonstrating how to capture video and/or audio streams
from 314 and save them into files (in a variety of supported formats including MPEG1, MPEG2,
MPEG4 (.avi or .divx), H.2 3, MJPEG (.avi), and even VOB, SVCD/VCD for A/V, and WAV/MP2 for
audio only).
The server str-server is used for demonstrating how to stream the live A/V over IP. Also, a variety
of supported formats listed above is supported.
