Combo Cards Quality of live videos

[jzipf 0]

Hello,

I have installed the 1480-16 of Geovision. The problem is: moving objects have interlace on the edge. I didnt' have this problem with the GV-1000 card.

 

the system I use:

P4, 3.0 Ghz Intel

1.024 MB Ram

ATI x300 Graphic Card

 

Does anybody else have this problem and how can I fix it?????

 

thanks in advance

What version of the software do you have?

 

And, do you have the latest Video and Chipset Drivers installed?

I take it you are using a Deinterlace resolution setting?

 

Also, it doesnt work too well in 720x480, i had to keep mine at 640x480 deinterlace. They say version 7.1 will fix any of those issues.

Hello,

 

we have installed the newest software version 7.05. Our PC is a P4, 3.0 GHz with 1.024 MB, brand new from DELL. I don't know the chip, but it's an intel board.

 

Because the PC is brand new (Dell Dimension 9100), I think we have the required system requirements.

 

BUT, don't you think, that the system requirements published by geovision are a little bit low for the 1480-16 card (2,8 GHZ P4)???

 

thanks for an answer

those specs are right.

 

Does the video card have Deinterlace, and also do you have .net installed ..?

hi rory,

 

i tried also 640*480 de-interlaced but couldn't see a difference. of course i use deinterlaced settings.

our graphik card is a x800 gto ATI PCI Express, so I think this should more than meet the requirements.

what do you mean with the installation of .net???

 

you said that the new software 7.1 will solve the problems. I got an e-mail of Geovision. I think, that's what they said, but I'm not sure, so I post it here:"

Dear Sir,

 

Thank you for your e-mail reply to us again.

 

Please know that the DSP is designed to provide

a display layer on top of the main capture card's original

video image with its hardware compressed live image.

 

As mentioned before, because it uses hardware compression

under 640x480 mode, it is known to have interlace on the edge

of moving object. Still, our client will use DSP card not only

for its TVoutput, but also for its real time display frame rate.

 

Now, the combo card series have integrated the main capture card,

the DSP card, and the audio card all in one card.

 

If you do not wish to have the DSP overlay, you can simply disable

it and shows up what is normally shown when using GV800, 900, or

1000.

 

For PCI-Express card, we have tested ATI X300, X600, and X700

cards without problems. Please know we do not recommend the use

of Nvidia chipset VGA card with our combo card series at this time. The

support for Nvidia chipset VGA card will be available with the release of

version 7.1 in January.

 

We believe the main difference between the GV900 or 1000 and the combo

card is that the GV900 or 1000 has the ability to turn on directdraw overlay

for which will be able to smooth the picture. However, since combo card

has DSP card, this function cannot be enabled even after the DSP overlay

disabled.

 

Therefore, there is a workaround to disable the DSP once our version 7.1

is released. With 7.1, we will have spot monitor support for which will

disable the main system's use of DSP and then you will be able to turn

on the directdraw overlay for smooth picture image. "

 

What do you think about this???

Download the latest Catalyst drivers from ATI, verify that you have .NET Framework updated to the latest version (Windows Updates), in the Catalyst COntrol Center go to Advanced settings. Check to verify that De-Interlacing (not "Weave") is enabled or set to Automatic (recommended). Reboot the machine...case closed

the only issue i actually had was when set to 720x480 De Interlace, the webcam viewer had black lines on the left side, they said this is fixed in the new version. As for interlace on the edges, not on the system i have.

[scott answered it - that should fix it]

I'll try this tomorrow (european time). I'll tell you than if it worked.

So far - thanks a lot

Hi,

have still the problem of interlace at the edge of moving objects by using combo cards.

The ATI driver didn't make a difference.

To be honest: don't you have at all this kind of problem???

 

Cheers

Has anything changed with your camera setup since you updated the card?

 

The reason I ask is because you tried what Geo Tech support told you to do and your still having problems.

 

I am just taking a wild guess here, but maybe something is wrong with a connection of some kind.

 

List everything you have tried, like;

 

Reseating the card?

 

Camera connections to the board? Etc.

do you have .NET Framework updated to the latest version, and De-Interlacing is enabled or set to Automatic (not "Weave") in the Catalyst Control Panel?

I'm having the same problem with a combo card. I have already downloaded the latest Catalyst software, and I have .net framwork 1.1. (is version 2.0 neccesary?)

 

In geovision system - >system options, the directdraw overlay is disabled but checked.

 

Anyway, I still see the interlacing effect on movement. The video source is set to 720*480 De-interlaced. There's also an option called "DSP overlay" and it's checked. If I uncheck that the video becomes completely unblur, I mean, totally shaped, and looks terrible.

 

SO, How can I de-interlace video with a combo card ??

 

Any solution ??

Are your camera's interlaced? YES?

 

Then in the main menu go to: Configure - Video source. Set the "Video Source" to 720x480. This will tell your card to de-interlace the interlaced source. This worked for me on the motion issues when I first installed my 1240.

 

Don't set it to 720x480 De-interlace.
