Digital Rapids DRC stream
64 bit PCI card for PCs under Windows XP.
Encode, transcode & stream video, live, with Windows Media, Flash, H.264, MPEG 4, Real, Quicktime Sorenson.
Also encode live video to MPEG1, MPEG2 (4:2:0, 4:2:2), DivX.
The best quality encoder and the most flexible live video streaming product available in the market.



Introduction


DRC-stream hardware card: The core of all Digital Rapids products. The DRC-stream hardware is the most powerful media encoding, transcoding and video streaming card available. It can encode and stream multiple bit rates, multiple format compressed media streams in real time, the only restriction is your computer and your bandwidth

DRC 2600, 2000, 1600, 1400 and 1000

DRC 500



The DRC-Stream platform has advanced video processing features such as Motion Adaptive de-interlacing, 3:2 and 2:2 inverse telecine, 3D motion adaptive noise reduction, and motion adaptive scaling. Standard audio features include 8 channels of 7-band parametric EQ (each band can be configured as EQ/gain, Shelf, or Butterworth), Dynamic Range compression/expansion and independent gain controls.
