The eXtremeRGB-Ex1 Analog and Digital Capture Card is the ideal solution for applications requiring capture VGA, DVI or HDMI  sources in real-time.

Typical Applications Include:

·    Viewing VGA, DVI or HDMI sources from PCs, MACs, Industrial/medical equipment, cameras and other Analog or Digital video sources.

·    Recording Analog or Digital video sources.

·    Streaming video applications.

·    Video Wall Controllers.

RGB Streaming:

For streaming applications, the eXtremeRGB-Ex1 can be used with Windows Media Encoder to compress and stream captured video. To replay the video, use Windows® Media Player. Any application compatible with Windows DirectShow technology can use the eXtremeRGB-Ex1 due to its built-in WDM support.

eXtremeRGB Software:

The eXtremeRGB-Ex1 is supplied with a powerful software application for configuring the timing and format of the input sources and displaying the data. Simply connect your external DVI or Analog source into the card, run the eXtremeRGB-Ex1 application to automatically detect the video source format and display the captured video in a window on your desktop. You can also use the software application to record and capture the Analog data at high frame rates and play it back using the iView Data PhynxRecorder and PhynxPlayer applications. 

Hardware Overview: 

The eXtremeRGB-Ex1 has a single capture channel supporting up to 1920x1200 DVI or 2048x1536 Analog resolution. The eXtremeRGB-Ex1 captures the Analog/DVI data and triple buffers it into onboard storage. This data is then copied using DMA to the host system for display, storage or streaming. Whenever the RGB/DVI data is displayed an option is available to send video data directly to the graphics card or via system memory - after which, the operating system copies the data to the display. For direct transfer to graphics card, the eXtremeRGB-Ex1 sends portions of the captured data to the video channel and instructs each channel to use its graphics engine to update the data. This utilizes the hardware and dramatically increases performance.
