Winnov Videum 1000

Videum 1000 is Winnov's second generation of the award-winning Videum AV PCI card. Based on Winnov's proprietary ASIC technology with its unique high performance frame buffer architecture, the Videum 1000 digitizes and encodes unmatched audio and video quality.

Video and Audio Capture
Highest quality and performance audio- multiple audio inputs with low noise audio capture
Highest quality and performance video for video - low spatial and temporal noise for best video compression results
Integrated audio in and out - Full-duplex audio Capture and Playback at different audio rates
Compact - short PCI card for desktop PCs or low profile PCI card for new flat panel based and slim line all-in-one computers
Capture 640*480 @ 30 fps uncompressed
Scaleable video window size up to 640x360 (16/9) and 640x272 (2.35/1)
Fully synchronized audio with video capture-reliable 24/7 operation
Hardware video compression (up to 12:1) for saving to disk drive
Video compression (up to 48:1) for saving to disk drive
Local and remote camera control (brightness, saturation, hue) - change settings such as video input, image settings, and digital zoom while encoding
Digital pan, tilt and zoom (using any camera) via Videum Zoom applet
Support Windows Media and RealNetworks Winnov's frame buffer architecture

Most decode chips implement in line buffer architecture, which cannot reliably capture 640x480 video to disk. Depending upon the PCI bus traffic, it will skip pixels in a frame when the buffer overflows. These artifacts are going to be more likely in a system with multiple capture cards and high performance PCI add-in cards.

In order to guarantee the audio and video synchronization even in the most demanding PCI load situations, Winnov's R&D opted to design their own PCI interface and frame buffer architecture.
The Videum 1000 implements a high performance frame buffer architecture, which reliably capture 640x480 video to memory or disk. Its large buffer can bridge any extended latencies on the PCI bus, which makes it ideal for high performance and multiple card systems.
