Digital Rapids DRC 500 with LE software


An enty-level package with a DRC500 PCI card and the Stream LE software allow you to capture, preprocess and deliver in real-time multi-format video and audio encoding and streaming capabilities from a single interface to an existing Windows-based workstation.
DRC-Stream encoding solutions combine the performance and quality advantages of hardware-based preprocessing with the format flexibility of software codecs, all controlled by an intuitive, streamlined user interface.




DRC 500 low cost solution for professional applications.



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.
