Pro Capture Quad SDI Card supports multiple cards per system and unlimited output streams with independently adjustable parameters per stream. Additional features include ultra-low latency, timestamp and A/V synchronization, and LED status indicators. The card supports both Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems, multiple APIs for Windows and Linux, and provides Windows SDKs for easier integration.

Video Processing
- Two video processing pipelines with approximately 180MP/s processing bandwidth for each
- Supports full 10-bit video processing
- Video cropping and scaling
- Video de-interlacing (wave, blend top & bottom field, top field only, bottom field only)
- Aspect ratio conversion
- Automatic or manual selection of input and output aspect ratios
- Three aspect ratio conversion modes: ignore (anamorphic), cropping, or padding (letterbox or pillarbox)
- Video color format conversion
- Automatic and manual selection of input/output color formats, quantization ranges, and output saturation range
- Supports RGB, YCbCr 601, YCbCr 709, YCbCr 2020 color formats
- Limited or full quantization range
- Limited, full, and extended gamut saturation range
- Video frame rate conversion
- Video OSD composition
- PNG OSD image of up to 2048x2048
- Dynamic loading of RGBA OSD image via SDK
Multiple Cards per System
- Supports multiple cards plugged into one system
- On-board rotary switch to set card number, with 16 positions from 0 to F
- System hardware device tree will display “01: Pro Capture AIO” when rotary switch is set to 1, and so on
- The video and audio device names displayed in your software will include the card number (set by the rotary switch)
Multiple Output Streams
- Unlimited output streams for any one input channel
- Independent cropping, aspect ratio, color format, resolution, frame rate, de-interlacing, and color adjustment settings for each individual stream
Ultra-Low Latency Support
- Latency of 64 video lines
- Partial notification mode in SDK
Timestamp & AV Synchronization
- Hardware-based 100ns high-resolution clock
- Audio frames (192 audio samples) & video frames are stamped with hardware clock
- The hardware clock can be synchronized across cards (via SDK)
Video Output SG-DMA
- Supports auto detection of Intel tiled GPU surface
- Supports DirectGMA for AMD video adapter chipsets
- Supports GPUDirect for NVIDIA video adapter chipsets
- 400 MB/s per channel DMA bandwidth in a PCIe 2.0 system
- 200 MB/s per channel DMA bandwidth in a PCIe 1.0 system
SDK
- Pro Capture SDK for DirectShow for easy integration (Windows)
- Pro Capture SDK for DirectKS for maximum flexibility & performance (Windows)
Windows Driver Tweaks
- All options can be controlled by three levels of registry key: global level, product level, and device level
- Video, audio, crossbar filter names can be customized via registry keys
Firmware Upgrade
- Multiple cards in one system can be upgraded simultaneously
- Cards can be upgraded without a system power shutdown when it is not in use
- Supports Safe upgrade
- If power off or system breakdown occurs when the firmware is being upgraded, it will automatically restore to the initial version (only available for firmware version 1.21 and above)
