Gateway (6000657) Video Capture Recommendations

6000657 is a PCI 2.1 compliant DVD playback card. Its main functions are to decode elementary streams of audio and video data from a DVD and provide high quality analog audio to a sound card. It also incorporates AC-3 audio via the S/PDIF connector located on the rear of the DL2 Chassis. The DVD stream that the card decodes can consist of MPEG2 video, MPEG1 video, AC-3 and other audio streams. DVD features such as sub picture decoding and seamless branching are part of it's design. The Chromatics DVD controller card is designed to send uncompressed or decoded DVD video across a feature connector cable to the Unidirectional VMI interface. This design architecture allows the board to work with video enabled graphics controllers that have native MPEG2 video support (720??480 video window). The bracket has no external jacks, all data is passed via the PCI bus and the internal cabling of the DL2 to the jacks located on the rear of the DL2 chassis.
