Yuan SC5A0N2-L Hybrid PCIe HDMI, SDI and DVI Frame Grabber with 2-Channel Capture at 1080p30

The SC5A0N2-L Hybrid is Yuan's two-channel PCIe HDMI, SDI and DVI frame grabber for an x1 slot, with one SDI input and one DVI-I input that also takes HDMI, YPbPr, S-Video and composite, capturing 1080p at 30/25 fps through an H.26X encoder. It suits recording an SDI camera alongside a computer or equipment output.

  • Inputs: One SDI input and one DVI-I input for HDMI, YPbPr, S-Video and composite, recorded as two separate channels.
  • Resolution: Both channels accept 1920 x 1080p at 60/50 fps and capture at 30/25 fps for full HD recording.
  • Hardware Encoding: A built-in H.26X encoder compresses both channels on the card rather than on the host CPU.
  • Host Interface: PCIe x1 Gen2 on a 122.3 x 68.9 mm board, with 16 GPIO and a watchdog for unattended systems.
  • Software and SDK: Windows and Linux SDK with DirectShow and V4L2 compatibility for tools such as vMix, OBS and Zoom.

SC5A0N2-L Hybrid Overview

Many recordings pair a camera with a screen: a room camera and an imaging display, a presenter and their slides, or a test rig and its control PC. When the camera is SDI and the screen is HDMI or DVI, one card has to speak both. The SC5A0N2-L Hybrid is Yuan’s two-channel PCIe HDMI, SDI and DVI frame grabber for that pairing, with one SDI input and one DVI-I input recorded as separate channels.

The DVI-I input also takes HDMI, YPbPr, S-Video and composite sources. Both channels accept 1920 x 1080p at 60/50 fps and capture at 30/25 fps, with HD-SDI, SD-SDI, 1080i, 720p and PAL or NTSC formats listed. Capture and preview formats cover RGB24 and RGB32 at 4:4:4, YUY2 at 4:2:2 and YV12 and NV12 at 4:2:0, so frames can go straight to an encoder, a display pipeline or an analytics model without a color conversion step. Each channel captures stereo embedded audio at 16-bit and 32 to 48 kHz.

The card uses a PCIe x1 Gen2 slot and supports multiple instances and multiple cards in one host, with cropping and scaling, automatic signal detection, deinterlacing, 16 GPIO and a watchdog. Software runs through Yuan’s Windows and Linux SDK, and the card works with DirectShow and V4L2 applications such as vMix, OBS, Zoom and Teams. The SC5A0N4 Hybrid scales the same idea to four SDI inputs plus DVI on PCIe x4, and the SC5A0N2-L SDI is the two-channel card for SDI sources only.

Yuan lists driver support for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10, Linux kernel 2.6.14 or later in 32-bit and 64-bit builds, Linux on ARM and NVIDIA Jetson TX2, Nano, AGX Xavier and Xavier NX modules. That lets the same hybrid capture design run on Windows, Linux or a Jetson edge unit. The board measures 122.3 x 68.9 mm.

Official Yuan USA Distributor

Things Embedded is an official Yuan USA distributor, supplying the SC5A0N2-L Hybrid configured for USA training and AV recording projects. Within the Yuan range the SC5A0N4 Hybrid extends the mix to four SDI inputs plus DVI, and the SC5A0N2-L SDI records two SDI feeds on the same size of card.

With SDI and DVI-I on one board the SC5A0N2-L Hybrid sits among our SDI capture cards, our DVI capture cards and our PCIe capture cards. Where an SDI camera and a computer screen must be recorded together, this is the model to specify.
