FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AVerMedia Announces the CN331-H Full HD M.2 Video Capture Card
Full HD capture and recording with fast, low-power hardware video processing
Taipei, Taiwan, November 30, 2017
– AVerMedia,
leader in video capturing technology, is proud to announce the
availability of the CN331-H, a super-compact full HD M.2 video capture
card featuring H.264 hardware compression that minimizes CPU and GPU
workload. This card makes it easy to monitor, store, display and
process clear high-quality video while keeping video file sizes small
to save storage space.
The CN331-H is a powerful but affordable HDMI video capture card that
is ideal for industrial PC (IPC) formats and embedded applications in
industry, commerce, education and general enterprises. Key
specifications include a 1-CH HDMI 1.4 input, maximum input resolution
of 1920 x 1080 at 60fps, and maximum capturing resolution of 1920 x
1080 at 30fps.
Video capturing for gaming notebooks
Thanks to its excellent characteristics and performance, it is equally
capable of being deployed in gaming PC’s, as well as commercial
solutions for IPC, educational application and medical imaging
solutions. Integrated hardware acceleration reduce CPU and GPU
workloads for H.264 encoding, de-interlacing, color space correction,
and scaling. Up to two CN331-H can work in tandem, to process multiple
streams E.g. game-stream & overlay, to provide smooth, crisp video
while reducing total system load. Lastly, the included HDMI cable can
be connected at two different angles (0° & 90°) to allow for easy
installation and flexible configuration. The small and lightweight
format of the CN331-H and secure physical HDMI interface make it an
excellent choice for use in vibration-proof environments like mobile
equipment and gaming laptops.
Fast, space-saving M.2 format
The CN331-H is available in 22 x 80 mm (M.2 2280) and 22 x 60 mm (M.2
2260) versions. Both versions make the most of the fast, space-saving
PCI Express M.2 card format. With the card’s ultra-low power
consumption of only 1 watt and powerful on board video processing, its
tiny size makes it perfect for small-footprint, power efficient
embedded systems. To make installation easier where space is limited,
the HDMI connector can be fitted at either a 90 degree or 180 degree
angle. The small, lightweight format and secure physical interface
design also makes these cards excellent for applications that need to
be vibration-proof.
On board video processing for high performance
Key hardware video processing functions built into the card include
scaling to reduce CPU and GPU workload, de-interlacing to enhance image
clarity, and color space conversion for more realistic color –
together, all these functions improve responsiveness and reduce input
lag. But users can always choose the data processing pathway that suits
their current application, because the card is able to hardware encode
with H.264, or capture in raw format without compression, or both – so
there is no need to purchase and install two separate capture cards.
Fast custom development with full SDK
The card is supported by AVerMedia’s versatile SDK, a set of
development tools that allows software engineers to seamlessly
integrate video capture modules into application-specific systems,
easing development of vertical applications and speeding time to market.
For medical imaging and other applications that require even higher resolutions up to 4096 x 2160, please see the CN311-H 4K 30FPS HDMI M.2 Capture Card
