VisionLC-SDI Capture Card

Description

Discreet video capture is now the mainstay of many small form factor appliances being used in markets such as lecture capture, distance learning and medical environments. Datapath’s VisionLC-SDI provides tri-band SDI capture for use within such applications. Datapath’s LiveStream:Capture architecture allows captures video to be processed and delivered in real time to a processor or graphics card.

This VisionLC-SDI supports on board colour space conversion and scaling, providing the ability to efficiently transfer the video signal in a suitable format for rendering or encoding applications. The VisionLC-SDI natively supports 32, 24, 16 and 12 bit YUV and RGB formats.

Key Qualities of the VisionLC-SDI Capture Card:

• Single SDI capture channel
• SD/ HD/ 3G at 60 fps
• 800 MB/s DMA bandwidth
• High performance up and down scaling
• Colour space conversion to any output formats
• PCI Express Gen 1×4 low profile
• Datapath unified Windows® and Linux® driver support

Multi-application capture

The VisionLC-SDI capture card has been designed for use within application models such as:

A few example applications:

• Medical environments
• Simulation systems
• Live events
• PC and gaming console capture
• Lecture and presentation capture
• RealTime streaming

It is also possible to put more than a single card into a system for multiple capture channels.

Due to the nature of the LiveStream:Capture architecture, the VisionLC-SDI s not supported for wall controller applications that depend on Datapath’s MultiStream technology.

Video streaming

Built upon the Microsoft AV stream model, VisionLC-SDI inputs can be accessed and enumerated in any DirectShow or Media Foundation supported application. A video for Linux (V4L) driver package is also available to download.

Tested applications includes:

• Microsoft Media Encoder
• VLC
• Telestream WireCast
• vMix
• Opencast Matterhorn
• VidBlaster
• OBS Project
• Adobe Flash Media Encoder
• Dataton Watchout
