VRC7016X Product Brief 16-Channel PCIe DVR Add-In Card Description Designed for professional video surveillance applications, the VRC7016X 16 channel PCIe DVR add-in card features two Stretch S7110 software configurable processors and performs H.264 High Profile encoding on 16 channels of standard definition D1 NTSC/ PAL video at full resolution and frame rate. The VRC7016X offers two channels of spot monitor output. Using the spot monitor outputs, multiple channels of video can be scaled, tiled, and displayed in userdefined layouts on a standard definition monitor. This eliminates the need for additional analog output cards and reduces the cost of surveillance installations. Extensive video preprocessing coupled with the power of the Stretch H.264 High Profile CODEC gives the VRC7016X the best video quality in the industry while maintaining high compression levels. The Programmable Accelerator of the S7110 at the core of the Intelligent Encoder delivers multi-stream encoding of baseline, main, and high-profile H.264 Advanced Video CODEC (AVC). In addition, the S7110 video processor drives H.264 Scalable Video CODEC (SVC) compression that enables flexible and efficient resizing and resampling of multi-stream surveillance video. At equivalent quality levels, VRC7016X-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 VRC7016X. FEATURES 16 Channel H.264 High Profile encoding Stretch Intelligent EncoderTM with H.264 AVC/SVC Industry's best video quality Rich and intuitive API Linux and Windows SDK BENEFITS Low system bills of materials Low bit rate for reduced storage costs High quality video archive Fast time to market Plug-and-play compatibility Easy integration with professional security and surveillance systems APPLICATIONS PC-based Digital Video Recorder (DVR) Hybrid Network Video Recorders (H-NVR) The VRC7016X has a high bandwidth PCIe interface for connectivity with host systems. 16-channel Audio/Video Input J7 Audio/Video Output Header J3 16-channel Audio Input Header PCIe Connector 16-channel Video Input Header Debug Connector J1 DIP Switch SW2 I/O Header J2 PC Reset J5 SATA Power Connector J8 1/2 VRC7016X Product Brief 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. Also a debug connector for UART and JTAG interfaces facilitate hardware and software debugging. The card is controlled via the Intelligent Encoder Software Development Kit (SDK) for either Linux or Windows. The VRC7016X is also compatible with all Stretch S7000based PCIe cards and OEMs already familiar with the SDK can integrate the card into their software in a matter of hours. With clear SDK documentation and support of Exar Application Engineering, new design teams also achieve rapid time-to-market. The VRC7016X features Stretch's standard Application Programming Interface (API), ensuring plug and play compatibility with existing Stretch installations and rapid porting of third-party applications. The VRC7016X is designed specifically for video surveillance equipment OEMs. The VRC7016X is a production-ready OEM unit for volume production orderable in either full height or low profile configurations. The low-profile shortform-factor card is readily embedded in compact industrial PCs and servers. The VRC7016X has as an Evaluation Kit (EVK) that contains a complete software load for the card, a sample host application, and source code for all included software (the Stretch Intelligent Encoder and CODEC plug-ins are supplied as object code). Stretch EVKs are intended for evaluation purposes and can be used in either full height or low profile applications.
