The most powerful video and audio capture and preprocessing available

DRC-Stream PCI cards are available in OEM configurations, giving your application the same outstanding quality of video and audio capture that our Stream media encoding solutions are renowned for. The DRC-Stream hardware is ideal for developers looking to add uncompromising ingest quality for encoding, streaming, and dozens of other types of network-based digital video applications.

Standard-definition DRC-Stream PCI boards are available in models ranging from single-channel analog to dual-channel analog and SDI. Dual-channel models feature two discrete channels of advanced video processing capabilities and up to eight channels of audio processing. Each video channel features powerful real-time preprocessing including motion adaptive de-interlacing, 2D and motion adaptive 3D noise reduction, scaling and filtering, delivering top quality video that makes the most efficient use of bandwidth when compressed. Each audio processing channel features 7-band parametric EQ and dynamic range compression/expansion. 

The high-definition DRC-5650 board features HD/SD SDI input and output, with most of the same powerful video preprocessing capabilities as the standard-definition DRC-Stream cards.

Digital Rapids Stream Software Development Kit

All DRC-Stream PCI cards are accessible through three different development environments:

Web Services API: (control the Stream software application through SOAP Web Services)

The Web Services API will allow you to control the Stream software application (all versions) through an XML-based programming interface.  This high-level API lets your custom application access the powerful features of the Stream software through industry-standard SOAP interfaces.

Application API: (control the Stream software application through C programming)

The application API allows your custom software take advantage of the capabilities of our Stream software (all versions) through a C library, allowing you to start, stop, and monitor the Stream application software and modify project level settings. This mid-level SDK will allow you to quickly get up and running with little knowledge of video and audio capture or processing.

Low Level API: (board-level)

The board-level SDK allows you to take complete control over the DRC-Stream hardware. You will receive the drivers, development documentation (SDK) and the most recent development drivers. The low-level SDK requires you to write your own high-level application or to integrate with an existing application.
