The XtremeRGB is an ideal solution for
applications that require the capture of Analog VGA/RGB or DVI sources in real
time.
Typical applications include:
1. Viewing Analog or DVI sources from
PCs, MACs, Industrial/medical equipment, cameras and other video equipment.
2. Recording Analog or DVI video sources uncompressed or compressed
to AVI files.
3. Streaming video applications over LAN/WAN.
4. Capture
& Display multiple PC’s/Notebooks on to our Video/Data Walls using our
Vigilant range of Graphics Controllers.
XtremeRGB-II
RGB Streaming
For streaming applications, the XtremeRGB 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 XtremeRGB due to its built-in WDM support.
XtremeRGB Software:
The XtremeRGB 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
XtremeRGB 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 EMS XtremeRecorder and XtremePlayer
applications.
PhynxVCR
For
DirectX WDM drivers we also offer our PhynxVCR digital recorder, similar to the
Windows Media Encoder for AVI recording but with a more user friendly interface.
The PhynxVCR can record the incoming analog/DVI video and the on-board audio
together into an ‘AVI’ file. The recorded file can be uncompressed or compressed
using whatever codec’s that is installed within the Windows Media
System.
Hardware Overview:
The XtremeRGB has two complete capture channels, each supporting up
to 1920 x 1080 DVI or 2048 x 1536 Analog resolution.
The XtremeRGB captures the Analog/DVI data and stores it in an
on-board video buffer. This data is then copied using DMA to the host system for
display, storage or streaming.
Whenever the VGA/RGB/DVI data is displayed on a non EMS graphics
card, the XtremeRGB sends the data to system memory, after which, the operating
system copies the data to the display. When a EMS graphics card is used, the
XtremeRGB transfers the data directly to the graphics card thereby increasing
performance.
This is especially effective when displaying captured data up-scaled
to fill a data or video wall. The XtremeRGB sends portions of the captured data
to each video channel and instructs each channel to use its graphics engine to
update the data. This utilises the hardware and dramatically increases
performance.
Typical up date rates when used with the EMS Vigilant-X graphics
card are:
|
1 channel at 1280 x 1024 |
75Hz. |
|
1 channel at 1024 x 768 |
75Hz. |
