Image and video capture cards are hardware devices designed to capture, convert, and process visual data from external sources such as cameras, gaming consoles, medical imaging systems, or computers. These cards enable users to record, store, edit, and stream high-quality images and video content by interfacing with digital or analog input sources.

Video capture cards specialize in real-time video acquisition, supporting formats such as HD, 4K, and 8K, with HDMI, SDI, or analog video inputs. They are widely used in gaming, live streaming, professional broadcasting, and video surveillance. Some advanced models offer hardware encoding (H.264, HEVC) and low-latency passthrough, making them ideal for esports and professional video production.

Image capture cards, on the other hand, focus on high-resolution still image acquisition from scientific, industrial, and medical imaging systems, including microscopes, scanners, and thermal cameras. These cards support frame grabber technology, which ensures accurate and high-fidelity image capture for machine vision, diagnostics, and security applications.

Both types of capture cards are available as internal PCIe cards for high-speed processing or external USB/Thunderbolt devices for portability and convenience. They play a crucial role in content creation, research, and real-time data analysis.
