This is a standard PCIe capture card — it works on its own in any Windows or Linux PC. A VSN wall controller chassis is only needed if you're building a multi-display video wall; most of our capture cards are sold and used as standalone cards in a single workstation.

About This Product
The XtremeRGB-SDI2 is a dual channel PCI Express HD-SDI video capture card supporting SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI, including 2K Digital Film Resolution modes. Delivering 650MB/s transfer bus bandwidth from a standalone four-lane PCIe plug-in card, it's ideal for display wall controllers, broadcasting, machine vision (acquiring SDI camera output) and advanced medical applications, and integrates fully with the EMS family of video wall display products.
Supplied with software for configuring input source format and displaying captured data, plus EMS's WallControl-red software for configuring multi-screen displays and video wall layouts, which can be recalled for future use or operated remotely over a network connection.
Where This Product Fits
XtremeRGB-SDI2 suits projects capturing from two SDI sources at once where 2K Digital Film resolution modes matter — broadcast monitoring walls, machine vision rigs pulling SDI camera output, and medical suites already standardised on SDI. For four SDI channels on one card at higher resolution, the newer XtremeDV-SDI4 is the more current option; XtremeRGB-SDI2 remains a valid lower-cost pick where two channels is enough.
Why Choose the XtremeRGB-SDI2?
- ✓Loop-through SDI BNC connections
- ✓All 3G/HD/SD modes up to 1080p60
- ✓Dual channel PCIe capture
- ✓Four-lane PCIe, up to 650 MB/s
- ✓SPDIF audio output per channel
The XtremeRGB-SDI2 is backed by EMS's UK technical support and standard 3-year warranty (5-year extended available on most of the range) — get in touch if you're not sure it's the right fit and we'll help you spec it correctly the first time.
