AVerMedia AVerTV HD DVR chips? (photos)

[Brad]

I bought this PCIe card the other day and I'm curious if anyone knows anything about what ADCs it uses. Don't really care about what it uses for HDMI capture.

I've taken some close-up photos, but really I don't even know what I'm looking at so I'm hoping someone with more knowledge can take a look.

I do find it interesting how they colored the input ports so that it looks like they're gold unless you see them at an angle...

I'm also wondering whether anyone has done any capture card tests like the big thread of DVD recorder tests? Or if anyone has any recommended test patterns/content in general.

The AD9985a is an RGB A to D chip:

The SiI9013 looks like an HDMI input handler. The TM6200 appears to be a video decoder (probably MPEG 2).

Thanks. This card only does software MPEG-2 encoding so I'm not sure if it really has an MPEG-2 decoder chip. Googling that TM2600 seems to point to "HDMI capture device" and I see a reference to other HDMI cards that include it along with different versions of the other two chips:

HDCAPPCIE AD9985A/Sil9011
jackallExpress AD9985A/Sil9013
AVerTV HD DVR AD9985A/Sil9013
CAPTUREX AD9983A/Sil9013

There's some more info about those cards on Asian sites. The CaptureX (AU English link) in particular looks interesting for digital capture since it appears to be able to do AC3 and DTS via HDMI and optical. I wonder where one would buy a Korean card internationally.. not that I'm in the market anymore.

Anyone know anything about the AD chip or is it obscure?

TM6200 is ADC (10bit) for standard analogue inputs (S-Video and composite).
AD9985a decode analogue HD Component (YPbPr) input.
