VCODEC-H264 – 4 channel, single stream H.264 encoder / decoder for PC/104-Plus

The VCODEC-H264 is a 4 channel, single stream H.264 Codec on for the PC/104-plus bus. The VCODEC-H264 provides a powerful and flexible solution for capturing and compressing analog video inputs to the H.264 standard. The VCODEC-H264 not only provides H.264 compression but can also simultaneously decompress and replay recordings from storage to display.

The VCODEC-H264 allows high quality real-time video and audio 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 reduced bus utilization allows up to four VCODEC-H264 cards to be fitted in a PC/104-plus system.

Product Notice

Due to the unforeseen obsolescence of a key component, the VCODEC-H264 has been withdrawn from production and is now obsolete. A limited number of boards are available from stock. On this occasion, we are unable to provide our commitment to the long term supply and cannot produce any further product when our stock has been sold. We sincerely apologize for this and hope we can accommodate your project requirements with an alternative product. We would recommend the VCODEC-H264-D4 as a possible alternative.

Please contact us if you need to discuss the compatibility with the features on the VCODEC-H264-D4. Click here to download the Product Notice announcing this change.

Software Development Kits

The VCODEC-H264 is supported by comprehensive and well supported software development kits (SDKs) for video recording and video streaming. The SDKs are designed to significantly reduce development time in Windows and Linux environments and include support libraries, drivers and example applications to help developers fully utilize the VCODEC-H264 features in complex video compression / overlay applications.

The standard Video Recording SDK and sample applications are supplied free of charge with each board and includes the services of our technical support team. The Video Streaming SDK is available for a one-time fee and enables real time streaming of compressed video data over an IP network.
