Physical attributes

The DVI2PCIe Duo is a PCIe x4 card that can fit in a 4x, 8x or 16x PCIe slot on the motherboard of the video capture workstation. It features a single DVI-I type and a SDI (BNC type)connector.

To maintain high performance levels, the DVI2PCIe Duo card requires a minimum of PCIe x4. Consult your motherboard manual to ensure the slot you are using is PCIe x4 or higher.

PCIe card performance is determined by the length of the card and slot (x1, x4, x8 or x16) and the generation of the PCIe card and motherboard slot. The DVI2PCIe Duo card is a generation 2 card and is fully backward compatible with first generation slots. The card will perform at first generation speeds. DVI2PCIe Duo card is also compatible with generation 3 slots; however, the card will perform at generation 2 speeds.
