The XtremeRGB-Ex2 is an ideal solution for applications that require the capture of DVI or Analog VGA sources in real time.  Typical applications include: ·         Viewing Analog or DVI sources from PCs, MACs, Industrial/medical equipment, cameras and other video equipment. ·         Recording Analog or DVI video sources. ·         Streaming video applications. ·         Video/Data Wall Controllers

RGB Streaming:

For streaming applications, the XtemeRGB-Ex2 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-Ex2 due to its built-in WDM support.

XtremeRGB Software:

The XtremeRGB-Ex2 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-Ex2 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 PhynxRecorder and PhynxPlayer applications.

Hardware Overview:

The XtremeRGB-Ex2 has a dual capture channels supporting up to 1920x1080 DVI or 2048x1536 VGA resolutions.  The XtremeRGB-Ex2 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 DVI/VGA data is displayed the XtremeRGB-Ex2 sends the video data directly to the graphics card or via system memory (uer option).  The XtremeRGB-Ex2 direct transfer to teh graphics cards card increases the performance. The XtremeRGB-Ex2 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.
