Wireless Video System Project # 36 Spring 2000
Team Members • Omar Sherif M. Iqbal • Ryan Daulton • Deepesh Patel Designers : Teaching Assistant : • Amit Nainani
Why Wireless Video? • Hassle-free setup • Extended range • Mobility Applications • Surveillance • Remote viewing • Portable systems
Original Design USB Cable Hitachi's USB Camera Microprocessor Serial Data TX In EZ USB Serial Out Chip Cable Clock 12 MHz MAX232 RX Out PC Serial Port Connector • USB • Compression/Decompression • GUI interface
New Design Ripple Counter Clock 2.45MHz 2.4 KHz 614.4KHz Serial Clk Parallel Clk TX In Serial Data UART Out 8-bits Parallel Parallel Port Camera RX MAX232 Out PC Serial Port Connector • Parallel port camera • UART
Camera How Does It All Work? • B/W CIF format (352x288) • 15 fps • 5:1 compression ratio UART • Converts parallel data into serial data • Goal • Serial rate of 38.4 kbps • -Parallel rate = serial rate / 16 = 2.4 kBps
LINX module • 800 meter range • Operates on 928 MHz carrier frequency • Maximum data rate of 50 kbps PC • Max232 • Visual C++ program • QuickTime
Testing Procedures 1 2 LINX TX RX NULL MODEM 3 4 UART TX RX TX RX PARALLEL WITH CAMERA
Challenges and Problems • USB • Reading in data from parallel port • HyperTerminal • Experimenting with new technology
Ideas for Improvement • High data rate transceivers • Two way communication for controlling camera • Data compression/decompression • Heat and motion sensors
Cost • Web camera $60 • HP transmitter $24 • HP receiver $35 • 2 antennas $10 • Other $4 Total $133
Marketability • Replaceable parts • Small size • Low cost • Long range • Numerous applications
Conclusion • USB is complicated • More research is needed for newer technologies • Interfacing different parts is time consuming • Real-time video requires high bandwidth
