Installation manual
3.1.1. PowerVN4 Pro2 video/audio capture card
PowerVN4 Pro2 card is a video/audio capture device, intended for digital capture
of audio and video signals, received from cameras and microphones, connected to
it. Also the card is a sensors controller and a relay outputs controller, and thereby
enables to control sensors and relay outputs, connected to its inputs.
Cameras, transmitting composite signal or signal in S-Video format, are to be
connected to video inputs. Microphones are to be connected to audio inputs.
Connecting relays and sensors to corresponding card outputs/inputs is performed
through additional panels MBRio.
The card consists of 4 independent CX23880 devices, intended for digital capture of
audio and video signals. Each device can work independently both in the switchable
mode (12 fps) and in the non-switchable mode (25 fps). Thus, maximum frame ow
for a card is 100 fps.
On the card there are:
• 4 main video inputs for working with composite video signal in the real-time mode;
• 12 additional video inputs for working with composite video signal in the
multiplexing mode (these inputs can be used for working with brightness
component of S-Video signal);
• 4 inputs for working with colour-difference component of S-Video signal;
• 8 inputs for working with audio signal;
• 4 relay outputs and 16 alarm sensors inputs.
PowerVN4 Pro2 card must be installed into the PCI slot of motherboard of your
computer.
The card diagram is shown in the picture 3.1.1:
•main (1) and additional pin connectors for composite video signal (2) and for
S-Video signal (3);
•jumpers for switching on/off 75 Ohm load (4);
•audio inputs (5)
•connectors for sensors and relay outputs (6);
•LEDs pins (7);
•Watchdog timer pins (8).
PowerVN4 Pro2 card supports working both with S-Video signal and with composite
signal.
For composite signal inputs 1-4 are used in the non-switchable mode and inputs
5-16 are used in the switchable mode.
For working with S-Video signal S1-S4 video
inputs are used for the colour-difference
component (S-Video chroma) and appropriate
14, 11, 8, 5 video inputs are used for brightness
component (S-Video luma). When connecting it
is necessary to use an additional video inputs
panel for working with S-Video signal.
Attention! CX23880 chip, working in S-Video
mode, can’t simultaneously work with composite
signal.
For working with audio signal A1–A8 inputs are used.
There are 4 video inputs on each CX23880 device on the PowerVN4 Pro2 card.

Installation manual
2. Add PowerVN4 Pro2 video capture card to VideoNet system conguration;
multiplexing mode must be switched off in the card properties; S-Video mode
must be switched off for each device.
Add 4 cameras to system conguration and connect them in the device tree
(on the Devices page) to 1-4 inputs. In more detail adding, connecting and
conguring device parameters are described in the User guide, 3.1 section.
B. If you want to connect 8 cameras for working in the multiplexing mode
1. Connect 4 cameras to main 1- 4 inputs of PowerVN4 Pro2 card and 4 cameras
to inputs of additional MB-BNC4 video inputs panel. Connect outputs of the
additional panel to inputs 5, 8, 11, 14 on the PowerVN4 Pro2 card. Connections
diagram is shown in the picture 3.1.1-1.
In case of such connection the card will work in the switchable mode with a
ow of 12 fps on each CX23880 device.
It is important to understand that at connecting more than one camera to one
CX23880 device, the device works in the multiplexing mode – frames ow by
each of connected cameras reduces.
Thus, for example, if one device has:
1 camera connected – the ow will be 25 fps (the real-time mode);
2 cameras connected – 6 fps (multiplexing mode);
3 cameras connected – 4 fps (multiplexing mode);
4 cameras connected – 3-4 fps (multiplexing mode).
That’s why when connecting a large number of cameras it is important to
correctly distribute them among four devices.
If in the example above you connect cameras to the following inputs:
4, 5, 6 (device 1),
3, 8 (device 2),
2, 11 (device 3),
1 (device 4),
then by cameras, connected to:
device 1 we will have 4 fps,
device 2 we will have 6 fps,
device 3 we will have 6 fps,
device 4 we will have 25 fps (real time).
2. Add PowerVN4 Pro2 video capture card to VideoNet system conguration;
multiplexing mode must be switched on in the card properties; S-Video mode
must be switched off for each device.
Add 8 cameras to system conguration and connect them in the device tree
(on the Devices page) to 1-4 and 5, 8, 11, 14 inputs of the PowerVN4 Pro2
card. In more detail adding, connecting and conguring device parameters are
described in the User guide, 3.1 section.
C. If you want to connect 4 cameras for working with S-Video signal
1. Connect 4 cameras to inputs of additional panel for working with S-Video signal.
Two outputs correspond to each input of the additional panel: colour-difference
component output and brightness component output – 8 outputs in total.
Connect colour-difference component outputs to S1-S4 inputs on the card
PowerVN4 Pro2; connect brightness component outputs to 5, 8, 11, 14 inputs
(rst camera – S1 and 14 inputs; the second one – S2 and 11; the third one –

2. Connect alarm sensor to pin Nr.1 on MBRio panel. MBRio pins numeration is
shown in the diagram 1.
Connect relay to Nr.3 and Nr.8 pins on the MBRio panel. Pins
numeration is shown in the diagram 2.
3. Plug the cards into appropriate computer mother
board slots.
4. Connect power cable to connector (3) on
MBRio panel.
Now you should set up parameters of VideoNet
system conguration.
5. Add PowerVN4 Pro2 video capture card to
VideoNet system conguration.
6. Open the properties page of PowerVN4 Pro2 card. Switch to
Card tab. In connecting devices eld specify what type of MBRio
panel you want to use for working with alarm sensors and relay
outputs: MBRio 4/16. It is MBRio panel in our example (see picture 3.1.1-3).
After that you should begin with parameters setup of alarm sensors and relay
outputs on Sensors and Relay output tabs. It is strongly recommended to use
numeration correspondence tables for sensors pins (table 1) and relays (table
2) on MBRio panel and on PowerVN4 Pro2 card (and in VideoNet system)
for correct setup.
Table 1. Numeration correspondence for sensors pins on MBRio panel and on PowerVN4
Pro2 card.

3.1.2. PowerVN4 Pro3 video/audio capture card
PowerVN4 Pro3 card is a video/audio capture device, intended for digital capture
of audio and video signals, received from cameras and microphones, connected to
it. Also the card is a sensors controller and a relay outputs controller, and thereby
enables to control sensors and relay outputs, connected to its inputs.
Cameras, transmitting composite signal or signal in S-Video format, are to be
connected to video inputs. Microphones are to be connected to audio inputs.
Connecting relays and sensors to corresponding card outputs/inputs is performed
through additional panels MBRio.
The card consists of four independent CX23880 devices, intended for digital capture
of audio and video signals. Each device can work independently both in the switchable
mode (12 fps) and in the non-switchable mode (25 fps). Thus, maximum frame ow
for a card is 100 fps.
On the card there are:
• 4 main video inputs for working with composite video signal in the real-time
mode (16 additional video inputs for working with composite video signal in the
multiplexing mode);
• 4 inputs for working with colour-difference component and with brightness
component of S-Video signal;
• 8 inputs for working with audio signal;
• 4 relay outputs and 16 alarm sensors inputs.
PowerVN4 Pro3 card must be installed into the PCI Express x1/x4/x8/x16 slot of
motherboard of your computer.
The card diagram is shown in the picture 3.1.2:
•main (1) and additional pin connectors for composite video signal (2) and for
S-Video signal (3);
•jumpers for switching on/off 75 Ohm load (4);
•audio inputs (5)
•connectors for sensors and relay outputs (6);
•LEDs pins (7);
•Watchdog timer pins (8).
PowerVN4 Pro3 card supports working both with S-Video signal and with composite
signal.
For composite signal inputs 1-4 are used in the non-switchable mode and inputs
1-16 are used in the switchable mode.
For working with S-Video signal S1-S4 video
inputs are used for colour-difference component
(S-Video chroma) and 14, 11, 8, 5 video inputs
are used for brightness component (S-Video
luma). When connecting it is necessary to use
an additional video inputs panel for working
with S-Video signal.
Attention! CX23880 chip, working in S-Video
mode, can’t simultaneously work with composite
signal.
For working with audio signal A1–A8 inputs are used.
There are 4 video inputs on each CX23880 device on the PowerVN4 Pro3 card.
