1 Introduction
The PCI-MPG24 is a MPEG4 hardware video compression card
that provides four channels of real-time full D1 size MEGP4 video
encoding and decoding with a preview function for digital video
surveillance applications.
This 32-bit, 33MHz PCI bus frame grabber simultaneously cap-
tures and encodes four video analog streams in real time. It
accepts standard composite color (PAL, NTSC) or monochrome
video formats (CCIR, EIA) cameras inputs.
Each PCI-MPG24 card has a unique hardware ID number. System
integrators can design protections to lock their system product.
System integrators will benefit from a watchdog timer (for fault-tol-
erant applications) and easy-to-use standard connectors.
