Digitizing Units

A digitizing unit is a set of analog and digital resources aimed at conditioning an analog video signal and transforming it into a digital format.

The digitizing unit receives the analog information from a designated video lane.

The digitizing unit delivers the digital information to the internal frame buffer.

Domino Melody owns one high performance digitizing unit.

Digitizing units

Before storing the image into the frame buffer, the data issued by the digitizing unit is re-arranged in a consistent way. This is the purpose of the frame buffer write control device. The idea is that, whatever the digitizing unit assignment to a camera, the digital image deposited into the frame buffer is a well-organized array of 8-bit pixels exactly representing the camera picture.
