About this product
The Pro Capture DVI is the flexible multi-format card for installations where the source format varies day to day — DVI-I, HDMI, VGA, YPbPr Component, CVBS composite, S-Video and stereo audio, all on a single low-profile PCIe x1 card.
For lecture capture and corporate AV this card has been a fixture for years. The reason is simple: lecturers, presenters and visiting guests bring all kinds of laptops with all kinds of video outputs, and the AV system has to handle whatever appears at the lectern. The DVI card swallows almost any video signal and presents a normalised stream to the recording software.
It also remains a popular choice in medical and industrial applications where modern HDMI equipment sits alongside older DVI and VGA imaging hardware that has years of useful life left. The same FPGA processing pipeline as the rest of the Pro Capture range means colour reproduction and frame timing are consistent regardless of input format.
