Picolo Tetra-X Product Description 

 

 

 

15 

3. Connectors 

3.1. “VID

n”

 connector 

 

 

        

VID1, VID2, VID3 and VID4 are 
selectable color or monochrome 
composite inputs. They are 
terminated with removable 75 ohms 
loads. 
 
To modify the 75 ohms termination 
setting, see “75 ohms switches”. 

 

3.2.  “VEB LINK” connectors 

 

        

Each 10-pin header connector allows to connect 

one Video Expansion Bracket with a Picolo 
Tetra-X. 

Three VEB LINK connectors are used to add 
video inputs to a Picolo Tetra-X. For more 
details, see “Video input routing” in part V. 

One VEB LINK connector brings back the 4 

video signals being digitized. For more details, 
see “Video output routing” in part V. 

Notes

1.  Each video differential pair is composed of VIDn and GNDn, both connected to digitizer 

n

  

where 

n

 = 1, 2, 3 or 4. 

2.  To inform the system of the Video Expansion Bracket existence, simply short-circuit pin 9 

“Presence” with pin 10 “Dig. GND”, digital ground of a Picolo Tetra-X. 

 

3.3.  “Digital IO” connector 

 

        

The “Digital IO” internal connector on the 

Picolo Tetra-X has 13 TTL I/O lines that can 
be used by the MultiCam software driver as 
inputs, outputs or trigger lines. 

 
Other Euresys video capture boards use the 

same connector. 

3.4. “MIO 

LINK” 

connector 

Using flat cables, this 10-pin header connector allows to interconnect a Picolo Tetra-X to MIO modules.  

For more details, see “MIO hardware installation” in part VII.
