EchoSystem SafeCapture HD Product Specifications

EchoSystem SafeCapture HD Product Specifications

Deployment Options

  • Mount in a standard 19" A/V rack

  • Set on a tabletop or shelf

  • Mount directly to a surface within a podium

The maximum allowable operating temperature of the SafeCapture HD device is 50°C/122°F. Be sure to install the device in a location where the temperature around the unit does not exceed this limit. If operated in an environment where temperatures exceed this limit, the unit may overheat and malfunction permanently.

Software Required

  • EchoSystem (ESS) 4.0 or higher

Display

  • Capture full-motion output from any VGA, DVI or HDMI-enabled device, including document cameras, electronic whiteboards, and computers.

  • Full-motion encoding records applications, annotations, embedded video, and animations.

  • Capture input resolutions from 640x480 to 1920x1080. See Appliance Display Resolutions.

  • High performance encoding engine provides H.264-encoded output at 30fps at any resolution and bitrates from 240 kbps to 3.2 Mbps.

  • All input aspect ratios supported, encoded to either Normal (4:3) or Wide (16:9/16:10) output.

  • Digital or analog input via DVI-I connector, passively adaptable to VGA or HDMI input.

  • Primary display input can alternatively be used as a secondary video input and will thus support the same video characteristics shown below.

Video

  • Digital (HDMI, DVI) or Analog (composite) video input

  • NTSC or PAL support

  • Capture input resolutions from QCIF to Full D1 and to HD-1080p

  • Provides H.264-encoded output with configurable frame rates from 1fps to 30fps, and bit rates from 120kbps to 3.2Mbps

  • Primary video input can alternatively be used as a secondary display input and will thus support the same display characteristics shown above.

Recommendation for Composite Sources

It is recommended to configure your composite source to provide 4:3 input.

Audio

  • Audio encoding in stereo, mixed-mono, or mono

  • Audio capture in AAC, sampled at 22kHz or 44kHz, encoded at bit rates from 32kbps to 128kbps CBR

  • Options for Pro-level (+4dBu/1.228Vrms/1.737Vpk) or Consumer-level (-10dBv/0.316Vrms/0.447Vpk) signals

  • Pro Line-level audio input with bare wire termination for direct wiring of stereo Balanced (non-powered) or UnBalanced audio

  • Consumer Line-level audio input with stereo RCA connector

  • Digital audio via in-band HDMI or DVI sources supported

Package Options

These packaging options produce viewable media for students:

  • Podcast. MP3 audio

  • Vodcast. M4V audio and motion display

  • Audio Rich Media. Flash-based audio and display (browser)

  • EchoPlayer. Flash-based audio, video and display (browser)

Signal Processing and Encoding

Signal pre-processing includes decimation, automatic de-interlacing, and noise reduction.

General

  • Dimensions: 431mm wide x 317mm deep x 44mm/1RU tall (without mounting options).

  • Meets global standards for ROHS 6/6 compliance.

  • Multiple internal temperature sensors with temperature-dependent variable speed forced-air cooling.

  • Removable, cleanable air filtration.

  • World-compatible direct AC connection. Input voltage: 90-240vAC 50/60Hz, using an IEC320-C13 cable.

  • Power and heat: 62 watts (212 BTU/hr) max, 50 watts (171 BTU/hr) during capture.

Agency Certifications

  • UL 60065, 7th Edition, 2006-11-20

  • FCC CFR47 Parts 15:107/15:109

Appliance Display Resolutions

The table below lists all of the available appliance display resolutions.

  • DMT: Display Monitor Timing lists standard display timings for various resolutions and screen sizes

  • GTF: Generalized Timing Formula is a video timings standard

  • CVT: Coordinated Video Timings (CVT) is a replacement for GTF

  • CVTRB: Video Timings-Reduced Blanking is a VESA standard which offers reduced horizontal and vertical blanking for non-CRT based displays
