Q: What is the bitrate at which your card can capture for analog video
(aside from the 64GB/hour figure given in the manual.
9 bits... is it a per channel bit sampling, or it's 9 bits total
(like 4:4:2 etc...), meaning that my color space will be crushed from
potentially millions of colors down to a few thousands or actually
improving on my current 4:2:2 setup? Please elaborate.
A: Since the TV signal has sequential structure, one 9 bit ADC is enough to
decode all channels one after another. For S-Video, where separate inputs
for color and luma are present, two ADC are used for each input. Please
note that 9 bits are used internally only to get high decoding accuracy.
At the device output we have 4:2:2. It is enough because source tv-signal
has the same quality (4:2:2).
*****************************
Q: What's the highest capture rate for analog (precisely in Mbytes/sec)
A: - Video pipe can transfer up to 24MB/sec
- Audio pipe can transfer up to 192kB/sec
*****************************
Q: Do you support uncompressed or mathematically lossless?
A: We support AVI uncompressed with ADFullCap
*****************************
Q: Is it MJPG or proprietary codec? (right now I have a MiroDC30 board.
I can capture on my machine and edit somewhere else faster with a software
codec, I'm wondering if this is possible with your card, assuming the
9 bits is per channel, this could be very interesting for my application).
A: We use Main Concepts codec - currently ADFullCap only supports this codec.
