The XtremeRGB-Ex2+ is a PCIe x4 capture card with two independent DVI-I inputs. Each captures analogue RGB, single-link DVI, or HDMI and component video through an adapter, and both capture at the same time.

Each channel is triple-buffered on the card, then moved to the host by scatter-gather DMA, into system memory or straight into graphics memory. An on-card processor detects each input mode and follows changes in the source, so sources can be swapped without reconfiguring the card.

Inputs

Two channels: Two DVI-I inputs, captured at the same time.
Analogue RGB: Up to 2048 × 1536 at 170 Mpixels/s per channel, with separate H/V sync, composite sync or sync on green. Dual-pass sampling for modes up to a 340MHz pixel clock.
DVI: Single-link DVI up to 1920 × 1080, or 1920 × 1200 with reduced blanking (165MHz).
HD video: HDMI and component sources up to 1080p through a DVI adapter. HDCP-protected sources cannot be captured.

Outputs

To the computer: Up to 650 MB/s across PCIe x4, by scatter-gather DMA to system memory or directly to graphics memory, triple-buffered so frames arrive without tearing.
Formats: RGB 8-8-8, 5-6-5 and 5-5-5, and YUV 4:2:2.
Scaling and cropping: High-quality downscaling on the card, and up to 16 cropping windows per channel.

Applications

Medical imaging: Two modalities or displays with analogue RGB or DVI outputs, captured side by side.
Command and control, simulation and vessel systems: Operator PCs, radar or chart displays and instrument outputs brought into one system.
Machine vision and signage: Two full-resolution computer or camera sources on one card.
Recording and streaming: Each channel works with any DirectShow application, such as VLC.
Video walls: In a VSN wall controller both inputs appear as sources in VigiControl.

Installation and software

The card: PCIe x4, fits a x4, x8 or x16 slot. Up to 32 cards in one system.
Drivers: WDM streaming driver and the Xtreme SDK with DirectShow samples. Check the Windows version with us before ordering for Windows 11 or Linux.
Software: The supplied application detects each source format and shows each input in its own window; run it once per channel.

Range and alternatives

XtremeRGB-Ex1+ is the single-channel version. XtremeRGB-Ex4+ has one DVI/RGB channel plus four SD camera inputs.

For four DVI-I channels on one card, see Xtreme-HD4.
