Multi Channel PC104+ MPEG4 Video Encoder
The new MPEG4000 Video Encoder board from Advanced Micro Peripherals solves complex and demanding real-time video recording and streaming applications, using latest standard MPEG4 compression.
The MPLAY4000 provides full screen real-time playback of MPEG4 streams even on a modest 266MHz PC/104+ host computer.
The MPLAY4000 accepts an MPEG4 Video stream across the 32 bit PC104+ bus from a file or live video source.
It can decode and render this directly to a VGA monitor or via its analogue Composite or S-Video PAL/NTSC output to a TV monitor or RS170 display.
MPLAY4000 also provides a stereo Analogue Audio output and a Digital Audio S/PDIF interface for playback of the decoded MPEG4 audio stream.
Applications include remote video for robotics systems, traffic and transportation monitoring, medical and industrial imaging, mobile entertainment, security and Video on Demand.
MPLAY4000 uses a compact 3.6 in.
x 3.8 in.
PC104+ form factor and operates from a single +5V supply, drawing less then 500 mA typically.
Together with a low power medium performance CPU host such as the Advanced Micro Peripherals 533MHz Micro886ULP it can achieve a complete fanless MPEG4 decoder system running at less than 10W.
Software device drivers for Win98/NT/2000/XP-E and Linux are included, as well as a sample MPEG4 playback application. Request a free brochure from Advanced Micro Peripherals ...
