HDMI Port 4K2K Capture

Professional Video Processing

Provides color adjustment functions, allowing fine-tuning of brightness, contrast, saturation, and gamma values. The brightness and contrast of RGB channels can be individually adjusted. It also features dynamic deinterlacing to prevent motion blur and ensure clearer images.

High-Performance Output

Through PCI-E interface high-speed transmission, it reduces CPU load, significantly improving work efficiency and achieving higher transmission rates and quality effortlessly.

Compatible with Multiple Applications for Simultaneous Capture

Allows multiple applications to capture a single signal source simultaneously, without reducing the frame rate (fps) of each transmission channel, ensuring efficient workflow.

Stable and Reliable Product

6-layer PCB design, using high-quality chips and capacitor components. Product stability is verified through a 7-day x 24-hour continuous load test.

High Software Compatibility

Uses a standard AV Stream driver architecture, compatible with various applications that support the DirectShow interface.
