MPEG4000-D4 Quad Channel MPEG-4 Codec for PC/104- P l u s The MPEG4000-D4 is a quad channel MPEG-4 Codec on a single PC/104-Plus form factor. The MPEG4000-D4 provides a powerful and flexible solution for capturing and compressing up to 4 analog video inputs at full size and at frame rate to the MPEG-4 digital video standard. Real-time 4 x full- size, full frame rate MPEG-4 encode of The MPEG4000-D4 not only provides MPEG-4 compression but PAL/NTSC/RS-170 can also simultaneously decompress and replay recordings from storage to display. The MPEG4000-D4 allows high quality real-time video and audio capture and compression from NTSC/PAL video sources to disk and simultaneously provides an additional path for uncompressed video for on-screen preview or optional downstream video analytics. The high performance MPEG-4 video data compression and efficient bus utilization allow up to four MPEG4000-D4 cards to be fitted in a PC/104-Plus system with spare band-width for other collaborating peripherals.
