Description
Aurora Design FUSE Rocks 1327 PCI Video Capture Card Zoran ZR36067 S-Video RCA
The Aurora Design FUSE Rocks 1327 is a PCI video capture card built around the Zoran ZR36067 MJPEG video codec chipset. It accepts analog video input via S-Video and RCA composite connectors, digitizes and compresses the signal using MJPEG encoding, and transfers the captured video to the host PC over the PCI bus. A Philips SAA7110A video decoder handles analog input processing, while a Philips SAA7187 handles video encoding, pairing with the Zoran codec for full capture-and-playback capability.

Applications
The FUSE Rocks 1327 belongs to the generation of PCI MJPEG capture cards that were popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s for analog video digitization — converting VHS tapes, camcorder footage, and other composite or S-Video sources into digital video files on a PC. The Zoran ZR36067 was a widely used codec chip in this class of card, found in products from several manufacturers including Pinnacle (Miro), Iomega, and various OEM designs. Cards of this type were used for video editing workstations, VHS-to-digital archiving, and non-linear editing (NLE) setups where real-time MJPEG capture offered a practical balance of quality and file size. They are sought today primarily by retro computing enthusiasts, legacy video archivists, and those maintaining older Windows 9x/2000-era editing systems that relied on MJPEG-based workflows.
This Aurora Design FUSE Rocks 1327 PCI video capture card was pulled from a working environment where it had previously been in use. It has been visually inspected and photographed. The PCB appears clean and in good condition with no obvious physical damage. The bracket connectors — two S-Video ports and two RCA composite inputs — appear intact. Normal handling wear may be present on a used expansion card. Please review all photos and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
