What is DVI2PCIe Duo?

DVI2PCIe Duo™ is Epiphan's internal (PCIe) dual-link DVI-I / SDI (3G-SDI, HD-SDI and SD-SDI) video capture card. It captures images and video from single-link and dual-link DVI-I, VGA, and unencrypted HDMI and SDI video sources and digitizes them on your workstation via the motherboard's PCIe bus.

The video capture workstation can record and/or stream the resulting uncompressed diagnostic-quality images and videos. On Windows, both audio and video capture is supported for HDMI and SDI sources. An optional A/V kit can be installed to capture S-Video/composite, analog audio and balanced TRS audio. DVI2PCIe Duo captures full HD at 60 frames per second and captures and streams audio and HD video sources with resolutions up to 2048×2048 when connected to a DVI-I dual link connector.

DVI2PCIe Duo captures video and audio from any dual-link or single link DVI, unencrypted HDMI, or VGA sourceand, at the same time from a 3G-SDI, HD-SDI or SD-SDI source.

Using the included Epiphan Capture Tool, DVI2PCIe Duo captures full 1080p HD at 60 frames per seconds and supports resolutions up to 2560×1600. Note in all cases the SDI video signal is captured in RGB 24-bit color and in the case of YUV 4:2:0 chroma sub-sampling, it is converted to this new color space.

The DVI2PCIe Duo capture card is fully compatible with DirectShow in Windows and Video4Linux in Linux. This means you can use it with a number of different third party applications for capturing, recording and streaming video.

DVI2PCIe Duo is part of Epiphan’s complete line of video and audio signal capture products. For more information about all Epiphan’s video signal capture products, refer to the products page on the Epiphan Video website.
