Capture Cards and Breakout Cables¶
MIP supports multiple A/V formats and associated capture cards. The capture card converts the analog or digital source for MIP processing, evaluation and storage. Unlike other Observer applications, MIP continuously ingests and records each channel. As such, you need to dedicate a capture card port per channel. If you are using set-top-boxes, they also will need to be configured on a per monitored channel basis.

TECH TIP
In instances where the video card supports direct video output the output feed may be used to directly drive a video monitor. This capability must be configured using Probe Manager.
