assembled PCB "SCIMO V1.1"
  


features:

• Standalone device: video analysis and control of the LEDs is done in hard realtime by powerfull microcontroller
• Video input (PAL, NTSC, SECAM): S-Video (Y/C) or Composite (CVBS)
• USB full speed device (for initial configuration via PC)
• Included receiver for infrared remote control
• up to 240 RGB LEDs (zones) can be separately controlled
• supported digital LED / ICs and protocols: DMX512, WS281x, TM18xx ...
• Firmwareupdate via USB
• automatically wakes up or goes into standby depending on video signal (e.g. if TV, PC switched on/off)
• adjustable LED delay time (to compensate TV input delay)
• precise adjustable LED colors (red, green, blue, gamma) to match color on TV

technical data:

• Video analysis: done by very powerfull 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller with DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and FPU (Floating Point Unit)
• realtime operation system used in microcontroller are optimized for best performance and needed resources
• Video deocder: TVP5150AM1 from Texas Instruments digitizes analog video signal
• internal Video Data Format: ITU-R BT.656 ( 8 data bits at 27 MHz pixel clock )
• analysing each video frame (50/60 Hz) which gives very responsive and dynamic LED colors
• processing ~22 MByte/sec. of video data
• very low power consumption from SCIMO itself: only ~1W (powered up)

 

supported color formats:

• PAL (B, D, G, H, I, M, N, Nc)
• NTSC (J, M, 4.43)
• SECAM (B, D, G, K, K1, L)

 

connectors:

• S-Video or Composite input (video signal)
• USB 2.0 (for initial configuration)
• power supply input ( 5V - 12Vdc / max. 11 ampere )
• LED stripe connector (for digital RGB LED stripes)

hardware feature:

• automatic low-power standby mode
• multi video connector (S-Video or Composite or dual Composite)
• 5 - 12V pass-through power supply for LED stripes
• power supply of LEDs are switched off if SCIMO is in standby mode -> eliminates idle current of LEDs
• infrared remote control receiver
• two dual colour LEDs shows current status (video signal detection, power mode)
• onboard microswitch
• ESD protection
• onboard RGB LED for enclosure lightning
