Magewell Pro Capture Hexa CVBS
£447.00
Magewell Part Number: 11250 Six channel SD Capture Card
- CVBS (Video + Audio) x6
The Pro Capture Hexa CVBS captures six channels of CVBS video and six unbalanced stereo audio pairs over a PCI Express 2.0 x1 host interface. Magewell’s second generation of analog PCIe capture card, enables users to cost-effectively convert analog source signals into high-quality digital video and audio data for recording or processing with the latest software. 
FPGA-based video processing on the Pro Capture Hexa CVBS provides high-quality de-interlacing, image adjustments, scaling and PAL/NTSC frame rate conversion without tasking the host system’s CPU. The new model also adds powerful features not available on Magewell’s earlier-generation analog capture card, including graphic overlay, support for CEA-608/EIA-608 closed captions, and ultra-low latency as little as 64 video lines.
