Installing the XtremeRGB-Ex8 Capture Card
You are likely to need a flat blade and a Phillips head screwdriver for the installation of the capture
card; it would be useful to have these to hand before you begin.
Installing the card is a simple process, follow the steps below to be up and running in a few minutes:
•
Power down the PC (including peripherals), switch off at the mains and disconnect all the
cables connected to the computer, noting the positions for accurate reconnection. Remove
the PC cover
•
Locate a vacant PCIe (x4 or above) slot on the motherboard and remove the backing plate.
(retain all screws)
identify a PCIe (PCI-express) slot. If the card is forced into a 32 or 64 bit PCI or PCI-X
slot it will be irreparably damaged when the system is powered up and the warranty
will be
void.
•
Remove the card from its packaging and secure it firmly into the empty PCIe slot. Extreme
care should be taken when securing the card into the slot as some motherboards may
have components that impede the siting of the card
•
Screw the card bracket to the back panel of the PC and replace the cover
•
Re-connect all cables to the PC
•
Connect the BNC16 Input cable
•
Power up the PC and commence the software installation
Connections
The XtremeRGB-Ex8 has two 26 Way D- type connectors. Either connector can be used to input
video signals using a 16-way splitter cable (provided). The splitter cable consists of 16 BNC sockets
numbered 1-16, connected to a 26-way D connector. To connect a video input, connect the
Composite/S-Video Luma and Chroma as indicated in the table below.

Video Passthrough
By connecting a second BNC16 Input Cable (available from EMS) to the second XtremeRGB-Ex8
connector it is possible to daisy-chain the video signals to another device. In this case the video will
normally be terminated on the downstream device; therefore, the inbuilt terminations on the
XtremeRGB-Ex8 should be disabled by removing the links as shown in the following table:
