Manufactured by Arvoo Trading, Valentino multichannel video output boards have two, four or eight independent Pal or NTSC format video output channels.

Each video output channel is independently software configurable and supports five output modes (CVBS, Y/C, YUV, RGB and RGB with external sync) The Valentino boards are designed for the standard PCIbus (32bit/33MHz) and each channel is equipped with a full frame video memory so that the latest image is always available regardless of PC transfer latencies.

Multiple Valentino boards (up to 256 in theory) can be used in a single PC to extend the total number of video output channels.

The Valentino line is supported with drivers for Windows, Linux and QNX.

Open source application sample code is provided for software developers.

Typical applications include multiscreen image presentation, travel information displays, industrial process monitoring and video wall applications.

The Valentino boards are available for immediate delivery and prices are around GBP 750 for a dual channel board and GBP 1300 for a full eight-channel board.
