The XtremeRGB-Ex8 is a PCIe x4 capture card for eight standard-definition cameras. It takes eight composite or S-Video sources in PAL, NTSC or SECAM and captures all eight at the same time.
Each input is detected automatically, including loss of signal, and captured at up to 720 × 576. Inputs can be captured as a single field or de-interlaced, with colour, brightness, contrast, saturation and hue adjustable per channel.
