Introduc on
The XtremeLC range of “Live Capture” cards provide single and dual channel high definition capture channels in a PCIe
low profile card. The full range of LC capture cards include:
XtremeLC-HD - Single channel, high definition HDMI live capture
XtremeLC-HD2 - Dual channel, high definition HDMI live capture card
XtremeLC-SDI - Single channel, SDI live capture card
EMS’s LiveStream Capture architecture allows captured video to be processed and delivered in real time to a processor or
graphics card. The XtremeLC range of cards support 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 XtremeLC range natively
supports 32, 24, 16 and 12 bit YUV and RGB formats.
The XtremeLC range has been designed specifically for use within smaller applications:
•
Medical operating theatres
•
Simulation systems
•
Lecture capture
•
Real time Streaming
•
Videoconferencing
Installing the Capture Card
You are likely to need a flat blade and /or a cross head screwdriver for the installation of your XtremeLC card; it would be useful
to have these to hand before you begin.
•
Power down the PC (including peripherals), switch off at the mains and disconnect all the cables
connected to the computer, noting the positions for accurate re-connection
•
Remove the PC cover
•
Locate a vacant PCI Express slot (x4 physical or higher) on the motherboard and remove the blanking plate (retain all
screws)
If you are in doubt consult your motherboard documentation to correctly identify a PCI Express slot.
•
Reconnect all cables to the PC then connect HDMI or SDI cables (not supplied) distributing the signal to the connections on
your XtremeLC card
•
Power up the PC and commence the software installation.
Connecting Input Sources
Never use force when connecting cables to your XtremeLC card as it could cause damage to the connector on the card and
in turn, damage the card itself which is not covered under warranty.
