Achieving limitless HD video capture with low CPU consumption

The AverMedia CM313BW is a Mini PCI Express Video Capture Card that delivers full HD video capture with low CPU consumption. It can ingest and capture SDI sources for monitoring, archiving, or analyzing full HD video. The device is available now from Braemac.

A highly flexible solution, the card provides more possibilities than ever before. Its industry-leading hardware and encoding performance preserve crystal-clear video quality while maintaining low CPU usage in extreme environments. With encoding capabilities of up to 60Mbps and a wide temperature range of -40C to 85C (-40F to 185F), it is created to perform full HD video capture for industrial and commercial markets such as in-vehicle data recording, defence scenarios, machine vision, or any industrial imaging application.

The device is equipped with an advanced built-in H264 hardware encoder, which allows the system to encode without impacting the CPU’s computing power while maintaining high-quality video. This feature assists in balancing the load and increasing the system’s reliability. As a result,it greatly decreases the computing demands on hardware and software, allowing focus on other important parts of the application at hand.

The compact form factor design of a PCI Express Mini Card is ideal for fitting into small-footprint embedded systems. Its low power consumption further improves efficiency. Also, vibration-proof lock holes make it particularly suited to in-vehicle, defence, and industrial applications.
