Capture cards

The capture card processes the analog or digital stream for MIS archiving. Normally MIS is configured to continuously ingest and record each channel. As such, you must dedicate a capture card port per channel. If you are using set-top boxes, they also need to be configured on a per-monitored-channel basis. Optionally MIS can be configured with the STB remote control feature allowing users to switch between dial numbers using the virtual remote control feature.
