VisionAV-HD

PROFESSIONAL AUDIO & VIDEO

CAPTURE CARD

Advanced Graphics Display Technology

HIGH PERFORMANCE CARD

The VisionAV-HD has three independent video capture inputs - two supporting High Definition capture and a third supporting Standard Definition composite video. The VisionAV-HD also adds multiple channels of audio capture, which can be synchronised in software using time stamping with all video capture channels.

Both DVI High Definition inputs support HDMI, DVI,

RGB and Analog Component (YPbPr) input via a DVI-I connector, at resolutions up to 4096 x 4096 pixels and

FEATURES

supports 1080p (1920 x 1080) at 6o frames per second.

The VisionAV-HD captures all three video channels simultaneously and triple buffers them into onboard storage for tear free video, alongside an audio stream that can be selected from one of the HDMI or one of the analog audio ports. This data can then be processed and copied using DMA transfers to the host system for display, storage or streaming.

• Balanced (XLR) and Unbalanced (RCA) audio capture from optional audio module (AM2)

• Datapath Linux driver supports common Linux distributions (audio support)

• Two DVI-I Capture Channels: HDMI/DVI/RGB/YPbPr video capture & HDMI embedded Audio Capture and streaming

• SD/Composite Capture Channel - PAL, NTSC, SECAM up to 720 x 576 @16 Bit colour

VIDEO STREAMING

DirectShow drivers for WDM Streaming driver supports the following applications, to encode, record and stream video over networks or the Internet:

• Microsoft Media Encoder®

• VLC

• VirtualDub

• Any other DirectShow encoding software

For streaming applications, the VisionAV-SDI can be used with Windows Media Encoder to compress and stream captured video. To replay the video, use

Windows® Media Player.

Any application compatible with Windows®

DirectShow technology can use the VisionAV-HD due to it built-in WDM support.

AUDIO FEATURES
