4 Channel H.264 Codec for CompactPCI

The H264-cPCI4 Encoder board is a quad channel H.264 codec for CompactPCI systems. The H.264-cPCI4 provides a powerful and flexible solution for capturing and compressing up to 4 analog video inputs at full size and at full frame rate to the H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC (Part 10) compression standard.

The H264-cPCI4 not only provides H.264 compression but can also simultaneously decompress and replay recordings from storage to display.

The H264-cPCI4 allows high quality real-time video 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 H.264 video data compression and efficient bus utilization allow multiple H264-cPCI4 cards to be fitted in a CompactPCI for multi-channel video recording and streaming applications.
