VRC7008 Product Brief 8-Channel DVR PCIe Add-In Card Description FEATURES Designed for professional video surveillance applications, the 8 Channel H.264 High Profile encoding VRC7008 8 channel PCIe DVR add-in card features the Stretch Stretch Intelligent Encoder with H.264 AVC/SVC S7100 software configurable processor and performs H.264 High Industrys best video quality Profile encoding on 8 channels of standard definition D1 NTSC/PAL Rich and intuitive API video at full resolution and frame rate. The high levels of integration Linux and Windows SDK and processing capabilities of the S7100 processor give the VRC7008 the lowest cost per channel in the surveillance industry. The VRC7008 BENEFITS offers one channel of spot monitor output. Using the spot monitor Low system bills of materials output, multiple channels of video can be scaled, tiled, and displayed in Low bit rate for reduced storage costs High quality video archive user-defined layouts on a standard definition monitor. This eliminates Fast time to market the need for additional analog output cards and reduces the cost of Plug-and-play compatibility surveillance installations. Extensive video preprocessing coupled with the power of the Stretch APPLICATION PC-based Digital Video Recorder (DVR) H.264 High Profile CODEC gives the VRC7008 the best video quality Hybrid Network Video Recorder (NVR) in the industry while maintaining high compression levels. The Programmable Accelerator of the S7100 at the core of the Intelligent Encoder delivers multi-stream encoding of baseline, main, and high-profile H.264 Advanced Video CODEC (AVC). In addition, the S7100 video processor drives H.264 Scalable Video CODEC (SVC) compression that enables flexible and efficient resizing and resampling of multi-stream surveillance video. At equivalent quality levels, VRC7008-compressed streams have one-half the bit rate of those produced by competitors solutions. This results in a 50% reduction in storage costs for surveillance installations using the VRC7008. The Stretch Scalable Video CODEC (SVC) provides ultimate flexibility by delivering video over constrained bandwidth networks and allows the stored video to be managed over time, further reducing storage costs. 8 channel Audio and 1 channel Video Input 8 channel 8 channel Audio and and 1 channel Audio Input Video Output I/O Video Input Header Video Output Header Header Header Debug Power J7 J8 J14 J15 J16 Interface and Reset J1 LED DIP Switch SW3 PCIe PE Status PC Reset Connector LEDs J10 and J11 1/2VRC7008 Product Brief The VRC7008 has a high bandwidth PCIe interface for The VRC7008 is designed specifically for video surveillance connectivity with host systems. equipment OEMs. The VRC7008 is available as a production-ready OEM unit for volume production and can The card also supports sixteen channels of alarm I/O and be ordered in either full height or low profile configurations. an RS485 interface for remote camera control through an The low-profile short-form-factor card is readily embedded I/O header with an optional I/O card. in compact industrial PCs and servers.
