Applications
This card was commonly used in MPEG-2 video capture and playback systems, particularly in digital video editing, broadcast equipment, and video server setups from the late 1990s and early 2000s. It supports legacy Windows systems and Linux platforms that recognize PCI decoder cards. Typical applications include video-on-demand servers, broadcast monitoring, and real-time video decoding in workstations.
This Sigma Designs 53-000537 RealMagic EM7210 NetStream II PCI MPEG-2 decoder card has been tested at our facility and is in good working condition. The card presents both the 15-pin VGA output port and the 9-pin DIN port on the bracket, both of which are present and intact. The PCB is clean with no visible damage, and the gold PCI edge connector shows normal age-appropriate wear consistent with a previously installed card. We may also have compatible 9-pin DIN to 15-pin VGA adapter cables available — please ask if you need one. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
