PCIe Video Capture Cards

Internal PCIe Capture Cards for Recording and Vision PCs

A PCIe capture card is an internal capture card that brings HDMI, SDI, DVI, DisplayPort or analogue video into a desktop, rack or industrial PC over the PCIe bus. Available in low profile and full height formats, from single-input cards to eight-channel 3G-SDI and HDMI frame grabbers and 4K and 8K models.

Options include loop-through outputs, embedded audio, GPIO, on-card H.264 and H.265 encoding on selected models and Windows and Linux SDKs, suited to recording servers, medical carts, control rooms and inspection PCs.

Speak to a video capture specialist to match the inputs, channel count and PCIe slot to your system.

Not sure which range fits? Tell us the application and we will recommend the right model.

What to Specify in a PCIe Capture Card

A PCIe capture card brings live video into a desktop, rack or embedded PC through an internal slot, with room for several inputs and onboard processing. These are the points to check before you choose one.

Slot and Lanes

x1, x4 and x8 cards are available. Check the lanes and slot height the PC has free, as well as the slot length.

Signal Type

HDMI, SDI, DVI, DisplayPort or analogue inputs, chosen from the cameras and sources you already have.

Channel Count

Multi-input cards capture several cameras or sources from one slot, which saves slots for other cards.

Software and SDK

Windows and Linux drivers and SDKs for the capture application, with support for common streaming software.

Hardware Encoding

Onboard H.264 or H.265 encoding on selected cards records and streams without loading the host CPU.

Resolution and Frame Rate

1080p60 cards for most sources, with 4K60 and 8K cards for medical, broadcast and high-resolution computer outputs.

Explore Video Capture by Standard and Interface

Compare every video capture category by signal, SDI and HDMI standard or form factor, and jump straight to the cards that fit your sources and host system.
