| VITEC Multimedia Introduces Advanced AVC/H.264 Encoder VITEC Multimedia introduces VMC-5400(TM), a capture and compression board designed for developers and integrators of mission critical video-based equipment and video broadcast applications. VMC-5400 delivers high quality real time H.264/AVC/MPEG-4 Part 10 encoding. This PCI board is fully autonomous and requires very limited CPU power from the host computer. It runs under Windows 2K & XP. VMC-5400 takes advantage of VITEC's multi-DSP architecture offering unsurpassed flexibility, upgradeability and scalability needed for real time video advanced compression algorithms. VMC-5400 offers all kind of video and audio inputs: - Digital inputs: video (SDI) and audio (embedded SDI and separate AES/EBU), - Analog inputs: video (YUV, RGB, S-Video, Composite) and audio (balanced and unbalanced stereo). VMC-5400 supports video resolutions from QCIF up to FD1 (720x480x30fps or 720x576x25fps) at main profile at level 3 (MP@L3). The bitrate of the MPEG stream can be selected in the range from 64 Kbit/s to 10 Mbit/s. VMC-5400 offers advanced features including: - CABAC (powerful option which achieves higher compression ratio), - Pause/Resume, - Split mode (consecutive frame accurate files generation of a defined length), - Preview video on the host screen, - Audiometer overlay, - Capture still image while encoding, - Streaming option. VMC-5400 includes an easy and powerful SDK (Software Development Kit) in the Livewire framework for rapid integration. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
