July 18, 2013 – ADLINK Technology announces PCIe-2602 SDI video/audio capture card, the . Based on the PCI Express x4 interface, unparalleled features enable 2-channel acquisition of 3G-SDI for low latency and uncompressed video data signals up to 1920x1080p/60fps, providing lossless full color 4:4:4 video and up to 12-bit video data for critical applications such as medical imaging, intelligent video surveillance and analytics, and broadcasting. ADLINK’s PCIe-2602 supports all SD/HD/3G-SDI signals, and operates at six times the resolution of regular VGA connections. PCIe-2602 also provides unrivaled video quality with lossless full color YUV 4:4:4 images, for sharper and cleaner images.
With up to 12-bit pixel depth, the PCIe-2602’s extreme image clarity and smoother transitions from color to color boost image detail for unprecedented support of high-end critical medical imaging, such as PACS (picture archiving and communication system) endoscopy, as well as broadcasting. Low Latency, Long Distance Transmission Reduces Cabling Costs The PCIe-2602 features low latency uncompressed video streaming, CPU offloading, and support for high quality live viewing for video analytics of real-time image acquisition, as required in casino and defense environments.
When combined with a suitable 75Ω coaxial cable, PCIe-2602 signals can be transmitted over 100 m, requiring no significant modification of existing analog-based CCTV systems, with employment of existing coaxial cable networks representing significant savings. The PCIe-2602 is equipped with RS-485 and digital input & output—accommodating external devices such as PTZ cameras and sensors—supports Windows 7/XP operating systems, and comes with ADLINK’s ViewCreator Pro utility to enable setup, configuration, testing, and system debugging without requiring any software programming. All ADLINK drivers are compatible with Microsoft DirectShow, reducing engineering efforts and accelerating time to market.
