VisionRGB-E1S

Single Channel RGB/DVI/HD Capture Card

Advanced Graphics Display Technology

PCI Express

HD 1080p

HDMI 1080p

DVI - 1920x1200

RGB 2048x1536

DESCRIPTION

The VisionRGB-E1S has a single capture channel supporting up to 1920x1080 DVI or 2048x1536 Analog resolution.

The VisionRGB-E1S captures the Analog/DVI data and triple buffers it into onboard storage. This data is then copied using DMA to the host system for display, storage or streaming.

When a Datapath graphics card is used, the VisionRGB-E1S transfers the data directly to the graphics card thereby increasing performance. The VisionRGB-E1S sends the relevant portions of each captured image to each display channel and instructs each channel to use its graphics engine to render the data. This fully utilises the hardware and dramatically increases performance.

When the RGB/DVI data is displayed on a non Datapath graphics card, the VisionRGB-E1S sends the data to system memory or direct to the graphics card, dependant on the software used for display.

The VisionRGB-E1S is an ideal solution for applications that require the capture of Analog or DVI sources in real time.

Typical applications include:

• Viewing Analog or DVI sources from PCs, MACs,

Industrial/medical equipment, cameras and other video equipment

• Streaming video applications

• Video/Data Wall Controllers

Vision application software

• Fully integrated with the Datapath Wall Control- red software for video wall applications.

• VisionRGB-E1S is also optimised for operation with the Datapath range of graphics cards

• Support for Windows® XP/ Vista/ Server 2003/

Server 2008/Windows® 7

• Datapath SDK included for software developers

RGB STREAMING

For streaming applications, the VisionRGB-E1S 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 VisionRGB-E1S due to its built-in WDM support.

SOFTWARE

The VisionRGB-E1S is supplied with a powerful software application for configuring the timing and format of the input sources and displaying the data.

Simply connect your external DVI or Analog source into the card, run the VisionRGB-E1S application to automatically detect the video source format and display the captured video in a window on your desktop.
