Video Encoding Card

Recording video clips in the formats MPEG1MPEG2, MPEG2 and MPEG4 or HD usually requires the use of specific hardware encoding devices.
WinCan LTD provides and entirely supports the following products directly:

  • VITEC board (PCI/PCI-Express): used in , VM4-C8 or VM4-C9: for desktop computers

...

Note

In case of computers provided by the company HP the usage of the VITEC board may cause a device conflict with the mainboard!

...

  • MobileCap 124 (Sensoray 2250) or Sensoray 2253: USB-card, connected to Laptops

...

...

Note

The installation of the device MobileCap124 on computers with Windows 11 is no longer supported!

It is also possible to install any other common USB video encoding card (e. g. DFG/USB2pro or DFG/HDMI from The Imaging Source) available on the free market but with limited support and video clips of reduced quality:

...

In order WinCanVX can create an MPEG-clip directly from the live video stream provided by such a device, you will need the additional license elecard (SoftwareEncoding). Otherwise an AVI-clip is created per default that results in a worse quality-size ratio.
