Looks like a very old vga dual port card which haven't been used in the past 15 years

Being a PCI Express card, I don't quite date it as old. But, still quite old, I believe.

Googling around, the company is called Techwell (as the name is shown on the chips). Seems that they have been around for a while, and saw a news article from 2016 where they are now making standalone dvr products.

The connectors give it away. I think it's an old school video capture card with dual IDE channels.


I've never seen a combination like this so I'm assuming it's some very very old all-in-one solution for DVR or video surveillance capture direct to disk.

More info on the chip...

TW6816 has the versatility to support a wide variety of video applications, including decoding and transferring 4 channel real-time D1 video, or 16 channel non real-time D1 video, and supporting multiple video display formats such as D1, half D1 and CIF.

With that said, seeing 2 of those chips, this looks like an 8 channel capture card. The manufacturer still produces the chip, but says that it is not recommended for new designs.

Think I bought it from a company with the name of cheery in it.
