Introduction
Models 2464/3364 capture ideo from an SDI, DVI, VGA or component source. Model
2464 has Ethernet interface, whereas model 3364 has a USB 3.0 interface. Model 3364
captures uncompressed HD/SD ideo in resolutions up to 1080p60, and will o erlay
and compress resolutions up to 1080p30. It can simultaneously send both compressed
and uncompressed ideo to the host computer. Model 2464 captures compressed ideo
and sends it o er the Ethernet in se eral different formats.
Analog audio can be captured from a microphone or line source using an optional
3364TA accessory board. Audio may be sent uncompressed, or it may be compressed
and multiplexed into a transport stream along with compressed ideo, or both
simultaneously.
The 3364 is a UVC (USB Video Class) de ice, which means it does not require a de ice-
specific dri er and can be easily controlled using popular ideo APIs such as
DirectShow and Video4Linux. Sensoray pro ides Software De elopment Kits (SDKs)
for se eral operating systems to accelerate application de elopment. Our fully
functional demo program illustrates model 3364's capabilities and ser es as an excellent
starting point for custom designs.
The ideo processor implements efficient H.264 ideo compression, producing output
data formatted as either MPEG transport stream (MPEG-TS) or in MP4 or AVI file
formats. Audio compression is performed using AAC-LC. The stream multiplexer
employs high precision hardware timestamps to ensure perfect audio- ideo sync on
players. Snapshot capture is also supported, with MJPEG compression a ailable for
both snapshots and AVI streams.
For ideo resolutions up to 1080p30, the 3364 can pass through unaltered or downsized
ideo while adding Unicode text and graphical o erlays (which may uploaded in real
time ia USB). Audio pass-through is a ailable with an optional, attached 3364TA
board. Embedded audio can also be extracted from SDI signal.
The units ha e one input and one output ideo connector. Depending on the model
number, both connectors are either DVI or SDI. DVI models can capture ideo from a
DVI, VGA or component ideo source (with appropriate adaptors), and output DVI.
SDI models accept SDI signals per SMPTE 259M(C), SMPTE 292M, and SMPTE 424M.
Models 2464 and 3364 are a ailable as a bare boards or in a robust metal enclosure.

System Requirements
For model 3364 a computer with nati e USB 3.0 port is recommended. PCIe USB 3.0
extension cards may not pro ide bandwidth sufficient for 1080p60 ideo.
Supported operating systems:
Windows 7, 8, 10;
Linux 2.6, 3.x, 4.x.
Model 2464 requires a 100Base-TX Ethernet connection. Power-o er-Ethernet (POE) is
supported, as well as an external 5V power supply. The default Ethernet address is
192.168.24.64, net mask 255.255.0.0.

irmware updates
Both models 2464 and 3364 feature flash memory that contains the firmware used to
operate the hardware on the de ice. This firmware can updated in the field to fix
problems or add new features.
Model 3364 firmware update
Firmware can be updated by selecting an Update option in the demo application or by
calling the corresponding SDK function. Upon those actions the de ice reconnects as a
USB mass storage de ice with the name Update2263. (If the AutoPlay menu appears,
choose the “Open folder to iew files option”). In this mode, a new firmware file may
be copied to the Update2263 folder. While the file is being written to the flash memory,
the red LED blinks. Do not uplug the de ice while the red LED is blinking. After the
update is complete, the Update2263 folder is closed, and the 3364 reconnects as a UVC
de ice. To cancel the update mode without updating firmware, right click the
Update2263 remo able de ice in Computer and click Eject. In the unlikely e ent that a
firmware update was interrupted in a way that pre ents the de ice from operating, an
original firmware mode (Safe Boot mode) is a ailable. To enter Safe Boot mode, press
and hold the button through the hole below the indicator LEDs while connecting the
USB cable. The red LED will illuminate, indicating the original firmware has entered
firmware update mode and a new firmware image may be applied. After the procedure
is complete, in order to switch to the newly updated firmware, the power needs to be
cycled by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable.
Model 2464 firmware update
The firmware update is initiated using web interface. That requires a computer, located
on the same network as the 2464. Using any browser connect to the 2464, and select
Firmware Update, which will bring up the window that displays the ersions of the
de ice's firmware components and the serial number. To update the firmware, choose
the file (s2464.fw pro ided by Sensoray) and press Submit. The firmware update should
take about 30 seconds to complete. Do not unplug the de ice while the firmware update
is in process. If a firmware update is interrupted, the de ice will attempt to load from a
backup firmware image. During the update the red LED flashes and update status is
displayed in the Firmware Status field of the web page. If the update has completed
successfully a message “Firmware result: ok” is displayed in a pop-up window. All
de ice settings are preser ed across the firmware update. To reset the all parameters on

15
the de ice, click the Reset Parameters button. That will reset the network settings as
well, but the change to those will take effect only after the power is cycled. This allows
setting an IP address different from the default (192.168.24.64) e en after parameters
reset, if necessary.
