AVerMedia has released a rugged Mini PCI Express capture card that is designed and tested to capture high-quality video in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F), according to a company press release. The new CM313BW card is designed to capture video from SDI sources. This card will join AVerMedia's existing wide-temperature cards – the C351W card, which captures video from Composite sources, and the C353W card, which captures from both HDMI and VGA sources.

This product line is designed to provide greater flexibility for rugged industrial applications like industrial automation, in-vehicle operation and military applications.

The CM313BW card is designed to be thermally resilient for extreme industrial applications. By being able to function in a wide range of temperatures these cards ensure reliable and stable high-quality video capturing in extreme temperature conditions, according to the announcement.

The compact form factor of the Mini PCI Express card fits into small-footprint embedded systems. These cards also consume less power, resulting in a more energy-efficient solution. The cards also feature vibration-proof build quality and their locking holes are designed for in-vehicle, military and industrial applications.

The existing C353W card and the new CM313BW cards come equipped with an advanced, built-in H.264 hardware encoder, enabling the system to encode and maintain high video quality, without impacting the CPU,  increasing the system’s reliability. The C353W and CM313BW cards reduce the performance drain on a system's hardware and software, helping the system focus on other tasks.

The existing C351W card features four parallel composite video input interfaces, allowing for more versatility. With 4-channel input, the C351W can simultaneously capture up to four video channels at the highest performance levels..
