||
Color Space Conversion | Automatically or manually select input color space and quantization range Automatically or manually select capture color space, quantization range, and saturation range Supports RGB, YCbCr 601, YCbCr 709, YCbCr 2020 color spaces Supports limited or full quantization range Supports limited, full, and extended saturation ranges |
||
Video OSD Composition | Supports PNG format OSD (maximum resolution: 2048x2160) Dynamic RGBA OSD loading via SDK |
||
Multi-Card Setup | Supports multiple cards installed in the same system Onboard dip switch, with 16 numbering options from 0 to F for card numbering When dip switch is set to 1, system hardware device tree will show: "01: Pro Capture Dual SDI" and so on Video and audio devices displayed in user software will also include card numbering |
||
Multi-Stream Capture | For any input signal, output any number of capture streams Can set crop, aspect ratio, color space, resolution, frame rate, deinterlacing method, color adjustment, OSD, etc., for each capture stream individually |
