Advanced Micro Peripherals has introduced an eight-channel H.264 codec for CompactPCI systems. The H.264-cPCI8 captures and compresses up to eight analogue SD composite video inputs at full size and at full frame rate to the H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC compression standard. As well as H.264 compression it can also simultaneously decompress and replay recordings from storage to display. The board allows high quality real -time video and audio capture and compression from NTSC/PAL video sources to disk. It also provides an uncompressed video channel for on-screen preview or optional downstream video analytics. The video data compression and efficient bus use allow multiple H264-cPCI8 cards within a CompactPCI system for multi-channel video recording and streaming applications.
