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.

Specifications

Key Video Processing Features NTSC or PAL inputs (user-selectable) Motion adaptive de-interlacing Noise reduction (2D and motion adaptive 3D) Independent horizontal and vertical filtering Aspect ratio conversion Cropping and scaling Proc-amp controls Gamma correction Graphics overlay with scaling and positioning Key Audio Processing Features 48KHz, 24-bit audio processing (16-bit capture) 8 channels of audio processing 7-band parametric EQ per channel Dynamic Range compression and expansion Hardware sample rate conversion Bass and Treble control Volume control

Key Features and Benefits PCI capture card with preprocessing for optimal quality Realtime media encoding, transcoding and streaming Comprehensive input options for analog and digital video and audio (Digital inputs with the DRC 1400, 1600 & 2600) Dual-channel models encode two distinct sources simultaneously( with the DRC 2000 and DRC 2600 boards) Hardware based video preprocessing including deinterlacing and noise reduction Hardware based audio preprocessing inc. EQ and dynamic range compression/expansion Simultaneous output to multiple formats, resolutions and bitrates from same source lets you optimize for multiple audiences Easy to use software, customizable for single-click encoding
