Description

Three Channel Video Capture Card

A capture card with three independent channels of video capture for 3G SDI, DVI and Composite video, with full analogue and digital support.

The XtremeAV-SDI is a four lane PCI Express card with three video capture inputs – two supporting HD capture and a third supporting SD composite video, these three independent video channels can be captured simultaneously. The XtremeAV-SDI also adds multiple channels of audio capture, which can be synchronised in software using timestamping with all video capture channels.

The half length full height card features a full mechanical 16 lane connector with notches which will enable it to fit four, eight and 16 lane motherboard connectors.

The XtremeAV-SDI also adds embedded audio capture from SDI signal, which can be synchronised with the respective video channel. This card provides balanced and unbalanced analogue capture, through an optional audio module (the EMS AM2)

This capture card provides a single flexible card solution for areas such as medical, lecture capture, web casting and video conferencing.

Video Streaming Support

Direct WDM streaming driver supports the following applications, to encode, record and stream video over networks or the internet:

  • Dataton WatchOut
  • Microsoft Expression Encoder
  • Microsoft Windows® Media Encoder
  • VideoLAN VLC
  • NorPix StreamPix
  • VitualDub
  • Adobe Flash Encoder
  • VidBlaster
  • AMCap and other DirectShow compatible software

For further details see the EMS DirectShow SDK documentation supplied as part of a typical installation.

Software

A single XtremeAV device supports up to 16 independent scale factors, colour spaces and frame rate clients, which enables multiple streams to be sent to and from the card at the same time in different formats.

Supports timestamp for capture synchronisation across inputs, cards and systems.
For the use with edge blending, frame stitching, stereoscopic and many more applications using gen-locked sources.

Flexible and configurable preferred mode EDID Management
Allows programming of custom EDID parameters including ‘Preferred Mode’

Low input to output capture latency
DMA to third party graphics vendors back and front buffers via Direct3D
Compatibility with AMD DirectGMA
Compatibility with Nvidia GPUDirect
