About this product
The Pro Capture Dual HDMI gives a workstation two truly independent HDMI ingest channels on one low-profile PCIe x4 card. Each channel has its own FPGA processing pipeline, so the two streams can run at different resolutions, frame rates and colour formats without competing for bandwidth.
This is the card we recommend when the brief calls for two HDMI sources and a 1U rack server is in play — for example a small streaming venue capturing presenter laptop plus room camera, a corporate AV system handling two simultaneous huddle rooms, or a redundant capture build where the same source feeds two independent recording paths for compliance.
Because the channels are fully independent at the silicon level, mixing source types — one 1080p59.94 HDMI camera and one 1080i50 video conferencing feed, for instance — presents no issue. Both appear as separate capture devices in OBS, vMix and similar applications.
