Model Name Description
PCI-4100 4-channel MPEG-4 video audio compression card
ORDERING INFORMATION
MPEG-4 compression gives a high resolution image quality
The PCI-4100 adopts MPEG-4 ASP compliant compression technology which can compress video data into
MPEG-4 video streaming while maintaining resolution up to full D1, 30 fps at NTSC and 25 fps at PAL. To sustain
the image quality of each channel, 4 encoders are put on the board to process signals from the 4 independent
image sources. Under this design, each channel can be real-time previewed and recorded as well as displayed by
Full D1 resolution.
Another special feature of PCI-4100 is the embedded digital time-code. Any attempts to change the images will
destroy the time code, which can be applied to identify forged images.
The PCI-4100 also supports a daughter card, DIO-1100 for DI/O functions. The DIO-1100 provides 4-ports dry/wet
switch digital inputs with photo couple, and 4 relay output channels with surge protection. It supports RS-232 or
RS-485 for easy integration with external devices.
Ultra extensibility to provide a 16-channel real-time solution
The additional enhancement of PCI-4100 is its extensibility of utilizing four PCI-4100 cards to connect
to one PCI-6100 Real-time Display Card, thus providing a real-time solution of 16 channel video display preview on
both VGA and TV monitor simultaneously.
Other features such as motion detection, blind cameras detection, multiplexer are also enabled when
connecting to PCI-6100 real-time display card.
