Hardware Overview 

Salient Systems CompleteView is a Hybrid capable Video Management Platform, allowing for direct 
connection of Analog cameras to the Network Video Recorder.  CompleteView is licensed by the number of 
cameras recording to the CompleteView server.  When purchasing analog camera licenses, the licenses include 
the Gen I or Gen II analog capture card hardware saving the cost of an encoder. 
 
In addition, analog licenses can be converted to IP camera licenses saving any future VMS licensing cost when 
migrating analog cameras to IP. 
 
Prior to CompleteView v4.1 Salient provided the Gen I 
capture board, also known as the Fusion 4 capture board.  
The Gen I board came included with the purchase of a 4 
channel analog license, and was available as either PCI or 
PCIe.  The Gen I capture board delivered raw video to 
CompleteView which was compressed using the computers 
CPU.   As such, any type of compression supported by 
CompleteView could be used to compress the analog video 
feed however processing resources were tied up in the 
compression of analog video.  Additionally the card came in 
4 camera increments so a free PCI or PCI slot was required 
on the target computer for each 4 camera card. 
 
Beginning with CompleteView v4.1 Salient provides the 
Gen II capture board.  The Gen II board provides up to 32 
channels of analog camera support with matching audio 
channels included.  The Gen II board is connected via PCIe 
and requires a single 1x full height slot.  Gen II board are 
able to compress video at the board level, free CPU 
resources for other tasks, making Gen II equipped 
CompleteView server inherently higher performance. 
 
Gen II boards are available with support for 8, 16 or 32 
cameras.  The specific model of Gen II board provided with 
purchased CompleteView licenses will be determined by 
Salient based on the number of analog channels orders.  
Analog camera channels will continue to be available in 4 
camera increments (in most cases, please refer to 

Pricing and Ordering

 for details).
