Datapath VisionAV-SDI - SDI, DVI and Composite Video Capture Card
The Datapath VisionAV-SDI capture card is a 4-way PCI Express capture card with three independent video capture channels for 3G-SDI, DVI and Composite Video, with support for analogue and digital audio. All three independent video channels can be captured simultaneously. The VisionAV-SDI also adds multiple audio capture channels, which can be software synchronised using time stamp, with all video capture channels.
This card features a full 16-way connector with notches to accommodate 4-way, 8-way and 16-way backplanes. The VisionAV-SDI offers SDI embedded audio capture. The video capture card provides balanced and unbalanced analogue audio capture, via the optional AM2 module. It is a unique and flexible board solution for areas such as medical, conference capture, webcasting and video conferencing.

Datapath VisionAV-SDI is a video capture card with three independent video capture channels, for 3G-SDI, DVI and Composite Video, with full analogue and digital support.
The VisionAV-SDI is a PCI Express x4 card with three video capture inputs: two supporting HD digital video capture over SDI and DVI, and a third supporting SD Composite Video. All three independent video channels can be captured simultaneously. The VisionAV-SDI also adds multiple audio capture channels, which can be software-synchronised using time stamping, to all video capture channels.
The mid-length, full-height board features a full 16-way mechanical connector, with notches that allow it to accommodate four-, eight-, and 16-way backplane connectors.
The VisionAV-SDI also offers audio capture embedded in the SDI signal, which can be synchronised with the respective video channel. This card provides balanced and unbalanced analogue audio capture, via an optional audio module (the Datapath AM2).
This video capture card provides a unique and flexible card solution for areas such as medical, conference capture, webcasting and video conferencing.
