This SDI capture card provides four BNC inputs, each able to capture 1920 x 1080p at 60fps, so a single card ingests four broadcast video sources at once. It suits broadcast video capture, live event IMAG, and touring production where SDI cabling and multiple camera feeds are standard. The VisionSC-SDI4 installs in a PCIe x8 slot and ships with a VS4+ rear panel adapter plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt around the SMPTE-compliant SDI workflow used in professional broadcast and live production, the VisionSC-SDI4 carries four 3G-SDI inputs on BNC connectors with 2.97 Gbps capture bandwidth per channel. It conforms to a broad set of SMPTE standards and supports video modes from 480i through 2048 x 1080p, covering SD, HD, and 2K source formats over long SDI cable runs that HDMI cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/VisionSC-SDI4_Carousel_04.png?v=1782442008\" alt=\"ChamSys MediaMaster VisionSC-SDI4 4x SDI capture card\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach channel has a user-defined update rate, with the captured frame rate matching the source provided the maximum per-channel data rate is not exceeded. Multi-buffering eliminates tearing artifacts during capture. The card handles RGB 4:4:4 and YUV 4:2:2 \/ 4:4:4 sample formats and carries 768 MB of frame buffer memory, feeding live SDI content into MediaMaster's playback, pixel mapping, and LED integration tools. A PCIe x8 motherboard connection and the included VS4+ rear panel adapter plate support clean installation into a MediaMaster VS4+ chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour 3G-SDI inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e — Captures four broadcast video sources simultaneously on BNC connectors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1080p60 per channel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Each input captures up to 1920 x 1080p at 60fps with 2.97 Gbps bandwidth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroad SMPTE compliance\u003c\/strong\u003e — Conforms to ST-259, ST-292, ST-424, ST-425, and more for professional SDI workflows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSD, HD, and 2K modes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supports video modes from 480i through 2048 x 1080p.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-buffered capture\u003c\/strong\u003e — Eliminates tearing artifacts with a user-defined update rate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e768 MB frame buffer\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dedicated frame buffer memory supports stable four-channel capture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePCIe x8 installation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Installs in a standard PCIe x8 slot with the supplied VS4+ rear panel adapter plate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast and TV production capturing multiple SDI camera feeds into MediaMaster.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTouring and concert video over long SDI cable runs to VS2+ or VS4+ servers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship IMAG systems built on professional SDI infrastructure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePixel-mapped LED productions blending live SDI capture with stored media.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotherboard Connection Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePCIe x8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Connectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 x BNC\/SDI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Capture Resolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.97 Gbps per channel; up to 4 x 1920 x 1080p @ 60Hz per input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUpdate Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUser defined; matches source within max data rate (6 GB\/s per channel).
