Introduction – XtremeRGB-Ex4+
The XtremeRGB-Ex4+ is an ideal solution for applications that require the capture of up to four SD
video sources and a single Component HD/HDMI/RGB/DVI source simultaneously. 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
The XtremeRGB-Ex4+ is a four channel PCI express video capture card. The card supports PAL,
NTSC and SECAM in both composite and S-video input formats, supports de-interlaced video capture
and displays at 25/30 frames/sec for real-time video vindows.
In addition, the XtremeRGB-Ex4+ is also a single channel PCIe capture card, able to capture:
•
Component HD up to 1080P at 60 frames per second (
•
HDMI up to 1080P (
•
DVI up to 1920 x 1200
•
RGB/VGA up to 2048 x 1536
The data is stored in two 32MB frame buffers on the card in real time. The data is transferred using
PCI bus master DMA with scatter gather. The data can be transferred to system memory, to off-
screen memory on a EMS graphics card or via Direct 3D to third party graphics cards.
Windows Media Encoder® may also be used to stream video across a network or save the video to
disk. Windows Media Player® can be used to display the stream or the video that has previously been
saved.
