Datapath VisionLC-HD2 video capturing device Internal PCIe

Discreet video capture is now the mainstay of many small form factor appliances being used in markets such as lecture capture, distance learning and medical environments. Datapath's VisionLC-HD2 provides a dual channel, high definition HDMI capture card for use within such environments.

Datapath's LiveStream:Capture architecture allows captured video to be processed in real time to a processor or graphics card. The VisionLC-HD2 supports on board colour space conversion and scaling, providing the ability to efficiently transfer the video signal making it suitable for rendering or encoding applications.

The VisionLC-HD2 natively supports 32, 24, 16 and 22 bit YUV ad RGB formats.

Multi-application capture
The VisionLC-HD capture card has been designed for use within application models such as:

- Medical environments
- Simulation systems
- Live events
- PC and gaming console capture
- Lecture and presentation capture
- Real time streaming
-
It is also possible to put more than a single card into a system for multiple capture channels.

Due to the nature of the LiveStream:Capture architecture, the VisionLC-HD2 is not supported for wall controller applications that depend on Datapath's MultiStream technology.

Video streaming
Built upon the Microsoft AV stream model, VisionLC-HD inputs can be accessed and enumerated in any DirectShow or Media Foundation supported application. A video for Linux (V4L) driver package is also available to download.

Tested applications includes:
