Help finding anything about this component

[NecroFlex]

So i went on a scavenger hunt and bought a few things, among them was this thing which i have no clue what it is:

 

More pics below, but in general i have no clue what this could be. I tried to google most of the things written on the PCB and chips but no luck.

 

The more general written things on the card:

Main chip: IVNET Inc. IVR-LF16 0438

 

2nd chip: Philips SAA7146AH...CD7757...TtG04524

 

2 smaller chips: Samsung 202...K4S643232E-IC70

 

3rd chip: ALTERA ACEX EP1K50TC144-3....DBD580425A

 

Back side:

NX-5008-07BA50430031

 

2 chips: Techwell TW2804....BAHE VJ193511....0506

 

smaller chip: SAA7121H...43300960 04...bPG04442

 

 

The 2nd PCB attached via the connector doesn't have anything written on it, except the date od when it was made.

 

If anyone has any clue what this could be, i'd appreciate it!

Without googling im guesding its a security camera interface card or a whole security system card

1. looks like a usb header to me

2. looks like a serial port to me

3. looks like fiber optic connections to me

I'm not an expert, and may be wrong, but I agree that it might be cards for a security system

[Christophe Corazza]

Does it have any recognisable text written on it? (Brand, model, series etc.)

[Ithanul]

Best I can tell is it some type of parallel port adapter card.

I typed down any text i could find on the PCB and chips, it's under the 1st picture.

Here's another pic, shows further back, has additional connectors.

@NecroFlex  It's a CCTV capture card, judging from the connectors and chips used. Can't find the exact model and specs tough.

Hehe, you must not have been around long enough to have never seen one of these, but I agree it does look similar to a USB header.

Not sure about the others but no.1 is an old-school PATA (pre SATA) HDD header, so yes it might be part of some old DVR system.

If you're able to install it in a PC, load up device manager. You can look at the hardware ID to get model info even if you can't get the proper drivers to install and use it.

It's not, count the pins.

That connector is just in parallel with the connector on the back, which is where the coax camera inputs connect trough (trough a adapter cable).

The internal connector allows clean cable routing for dedicated pre-built boxes.

yeah i'm a bit past pata, thanks for the correction. The new pic posted has a 40 pin connector. I'm not experienced enough yet to know what uses 40 pin. I googled 40 pin and found an AMP connector

Yes indeed. I meant the other one at he bottom of the card is an oldschool 40 pin Parallel ATA HDD header for ribbon cable

Those huge old PATA Hdd's with the ribbon cables uses a 40 pin header connector.

No 1 Must be for a Floppy disk – 2.54 mm pitch, 34 pins, 2×17 (2 rows of 17 pins) -This thing is ancient

Says 2004 on the front side, not *that* ancient.

 

Pretty sure it's simply paralleled with the connector on the back to provide internal connections for the camera inputs, as done with many other similar CCTV cards.

In computer tech terms, 2004 is not that young either

Depends, I would not be surprised if CCTV capture cards have not evolved much since then.

True, I'll give you that  Certain specific cases have not evolved any further.

But in general, and especially compared to the recent tech, I don't see a 2004 piece of harware as still up to date.

[AGrider]

LOOKS like an older parallel remap card.

Idk how else to tag people here so i'm quoting, FORGIVE ME

Here's a pic of the Hardware ID, i googled a bit but didn't find much about it.

Here's a pic of the Hardware ID,

Vendor 0x1131, Device 0x7146 is for the Philips SAA7146

Nothing new there

[AGrider]

A PCI interface chipset from Philips.

The SAA7146 is foremost simply a multimedia bridge to the PCI bus. It does not perform A/V decoding functions and, thus, does not have audio and video inputs, but rather provides a number of interface ports for standardized digital audio video streams. At a minimum, the SAA7146 can perform some processing on the video streams it is fed by providing scaling capabilities.

Essentially, the SAA7146 "enable a wide variety of video and audio ICs to be connected to the PCI-bus thus supporting a number of video applications in a PC". The SAA7146 was well utilized and, not surprisingly, can be found configured on different PCI hardware devices such as analogue video framegrabbers, tv-cards, and A/V editing boards (see Saa7146 devices).

It is noteworthy to highlight that the SAA7146 was initially intended only as a multimedia interface for analog audio and video, however, the IC was adjusted to work with DVB by packing demodulated MPEG-2 Transport Stream data into the video interface lines of the IC. A large number of older generation DVB PCI card designs (such from TechnoTrend, Siemens, Hauppauge, KNC1 and TerraTec) did indeed made use of the SAA7146 as the PCI interface bridge. This hackish approach works surprisingly well in most setups, though, in some rare cases, a few end users have reported problems with high data loss. A more formal approach to providing DVB support was implemented in the SAA7146 chipset's direct successor, the SAA7134, as the later IC has a dedicated digital stream interface.

That is a CCTV Camera
