The FD300 board is a hardware base for Broadcast OEM Products. It is a powerful solution for digital broadcasting and professional streaming to implement 24 hours broadcasting with minimum manpower consumption, Darim Vision proposes you FD300 capture card to make scheduling, multilayer titling and logo inserting while continuously playing out and switching live/recorded video. PCI card has been optimized for professional multimedia streaming applications and has two channels Composite/S-Video/Component/SDI video input channels.
The FD300 card has been optimized for professional multimedia streaming applications. It includes hardware de-interlacing and video filtering/noise reduction logic. The FD300 card can capture two video and audio channels simultaneously for multi-channel streaming from one box. It opens up the possibilities for creating your own 24/7 TV and Internet TV station from your PC — immediately.
Fully Automated Scheduling, Playout Server in HD
- Hardware Video Processing Board(FD300)
- Simultaneous ingest of up to 2 channels of video with frame synchronization and switching of sources
- Simultaneous record and playback of video and audio (up to 6 audio mono-channels)
- Pass-through one of several sources of video and an audio-signals(software switching) with an adjustable audio delay
- Exact synchronization of video and audio
- Mix of two streams of video data with simultaneous titling
- Support of all analog video signals (YUV, S-video, Composite)
- Synchronization of a video output to any external source (gunlock)
- Generation of a signal of a mask (“chroma key”)for input channels
- Additional video output of alpha-key for external mixer
- Options for digital video signals as SDI
