1.1 Device Introduction

What is video capture card and what can it do?

Video capture cards are a class of video capture devices designed to plug directly into expansion slots in personal computers and servers.

A video capture card product typically includes a driver to get the device going and a bundled software to bring out the best features of it. The bundled software usually further processes the video for specific purposes. The functions of the video capture cards vary from one another. Some are used to capture base band analog composite video, S-Video, some are equipped with tuners, RF-modulated video, some others are specialized cards that support digital video via digital video delivery standards including Serial Digital Interface (SDI) and some, with the emerging hi-tech HDMI standard becoming more popular, support both standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) variants, and this Game Broadcaster HD you just purchased belongs to the last model.

AVI

AVI is the most common video file format for playback on the computer. It can be saved in uncompressed form if you want high quality video, or compressed using any of the available codecs if you want to minimize the file size.

Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio indicates the ratio of the width of an image to its height. The two most common aspect ratio of home video is 4:3 and 16:9.

DVD

When you choose this format, the recorded video file will be saved in MPEG-2 format that is compliant with DVD standards. Standard DVD frame size and frame rate are 720 x 480 pixels at 29.97 fps for NTSC and 720 x 576 at 25 fps for PAL.

H.264

Videos compressed using MPEG-4 standard are two or three times more efficient than MPEG-2. This format can be applied to a wide variety of applications or networks and systems like HD-DVD, Digital TV, Broadcast and Streaming applications.
