The VC-8016 takes advantage of the latest H.264 Advanced Video Coding for image compression. The H.264 standard (also known as MPEG-4 part 10) provides high quality video streams with reduced bandwidth, which is especially important for network video applications with multiple video streams. The VC-8016 enables 16 channel NTSC or PAL analog signal input via a 16 BNC to one DVI cable, along with 16 channel audio synchronization. The PCI-E interface enables simple installation and flexibility for development of total network video solutions on x86 platforms.

Full D1 video resolution is made possible by taking advantage of the H.264 codec, enabling capture of 30 frames per second NTSC or 25 frames per second PAL standard video.
