The XtremeDV-UHD2 is a PCIe Gen 3 capture card with two HDMI 2.0 inputs. Each input captures 4K at 60 frames per second with full 4:4:4 colour and HDCP 2.2, without scaling or subsampling.

Each input takes up to 4K at 60 frames per second with full 4:4:4 chroma, through a 600MHz HDMI receiver and a 10-bit processing pipeline. The two channels are independent, and they can also be ganged together and frame-synchronised to capture a single 8K × 2K surface.

Inputs

HDMI 2.0: Two independent inputs, each up to 4K60 4:4:4 (600MHz TMDS). HDMI 1.4 and 1.3 sources work too. Certified premium HDMI cables up to 5m are supported.
HDCP 2.2: Supported at 4K60.
Colour: BT.2020, BT.709 and BT.601, with limited or full range selectable.

Outputs

To the computer: 6 GB/s net across an eight-lane PCIe Gen 3 interface, with a 2GB frame buffer on the card.
Formats: 10-bit RGB, 8-bit RGB and YUV 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 (including NV12, YUY2, UYVY, Y410) and mono as your software requests.
Scaling: A hardware polyphase multi-tap scaler: clean, anti-aliased downscaling and accurate upscaling.
Latency: Single-line capture latency.

Applications
