VRC7016 Product Brief 16-Channel PCIe DVR Add-In Card Description FEATURES Designed for professional video surveillance applications, the 16 Channel H.264 High Profile encoding VRC7016 16 channel PCIe DVR add-in card features the Stretch Stretch Intelligent Encoder with H.264 AVC/SVC S7100 software configurable processor and performs H.264 High Industrys lowest cost per channel Profile encoding on 16 channels of standard definition D1 NTSC/PAL Industrys best video quality video at full resolution and frame rate. The high levels of integration Rich and intuitive API and processing capabilities of the S7100 processor give the VRC7016 Linux and Windows SDK the lowest cost per channel in the surveillance industry. BENEFITS Extensive video preprocessing coupled with the power of the Stretch Low system bills of materials H.264 High Profile CODEC gives the VRC7016 the best video quality Low bit rate for reduced storage costs in the industry while maintaining high compression levels. The High quality video archive Programmable Accelerator of the S7100 at the core of the Intelligent Fast time to market Encoder delivers multi-stream encoding of baseline, main, and Plug-and-play compatibility high-profile H.264 Advanced Video CODEC (AVC). In addition, the APPLICATIONS S7100 video processor drives H.264 Scalable Video CODEC (SVC) PC-based Digital Video Recorder (DVR) compression that enables flexible and efficient resizing and resampling Hybrid Network Video Recorders (H-NVR) of multi-stream surveillance video. At equivalent quality levels, VRC7016-compressed streams have one-half the bit rate of those produced by competitors solutions. This results in a 50% reduction in storage costs for surveillance installations using the VRC7016. The VRC7016 has a high bandwidth PCIe interface for connectivity with host systems. The card also supports sixteen channels of alarm I/O and an RS485 interface for remote camera control through an I/O header with an optional I/O card.
