Technical Data

The VideumII Broadcaster SDI is designed specifically to meet the demands of professional webcasters, video production experts and video presentation specialists, who want to connect digital video sources (SDI).

• VideumII Broadcaster never lets you down!
  VideumII Broadcaster employs studio quality audio (XLR) and video (BNC) locking connectors, the same connectors that professional broadcasters have relied upon for years for high-quality signal paths and that won't be pulled loose.
  
  
• VideumII Broadcaster gives the professional webcasters flexibility and accessibility thanks to the breakout box.
  The new breakout box, by featuring two XLR audio connectors, four phono audio connectors and two BNC video connectors, offers a unique solution for anyone who desires the most performance audio and video. Since professional connectors won't fit in a regular PC, having them in a separate box will give them an easy rackmount access and more flexibility to fit up to four connectors in one unit rack. Thus, the new Winnov breakout box eliminates PC cable clutter and provides the easiest access to theVideumII Broadcaster Capture Board.

• The VideumII capture board is the only video capture card that can:

- Provide the highest quality streaming audio and video. A new audio technology based on the AC97 ensures that noise is restricted from your webcast.

- Provide the highest capture performance with lower overall CPU usage.

- Capture uncompressed (YUY2) video up to 768*576 @25 fps (PAL) or 640*480 @ 30 fps (NTSC) (including in 2 fields interleaved mode). 

- Support wide screen formats: DVD: 640 by 360 (16:9) and 640 by 272 (2.35:1)

- Enable users to control their streams with more precision. The capture settings and image settings can be adjusted in smaller steps while encoding.
