Introduction

 

The Xtreme-HD4 is a high end, four channel, high definition video capture card delivering 
performance and flexibility in demanding environments.

 

 

The Xtreme-HD4 has four independent video capture channels, supporting high 

definition

 capture and 

analogue video.   The signals are input on four DVI-I connectors provided by a pair of EMS DVI splitter 
cables.  Each input can support HDMI, DVI, VGA and analogue Component (YPbPr) at all resolutions up 
to 4096 x 2048, at 165 MHz Pixel Clock (digital modes) or 170 Msps in analogue modes.

 

 

The Xtreme-HD4 captures all four video channels simultaneously and triple buffers them into 
onboard storage for tear free video, alongside up to four audio streams that can be selected from 
the HDMI audio ports. This data can then be processed and copied using DMA transfers to the host 
system for display, storage or streaming.
