MPEG4000XLP - 4 channel MPEG-4 encoder/decoder for PC104-Plus
The MPEG4000XLP is a 4-channel MPEG-4 codec on a single PC/104-Plus (pc104+) form
factor module. The MPEG4000XLP provides a low power and high performance solution
for capturing and compressing up to 4 concurrent video inputs to MPEG-4 standard.
The MPEG4000XLP not only provides MPEG-4 compression but can also decompress and
playback recordings from storage to display. Utilizing the 32-bit PCI architecture,
the MPEG4000XLP allows high quality real-time video / audio capture and compression
from (up to) 4 concurrent NTSC or PAL video sources while at the same time allowing
the data stream to be stored to disk and provide a Preview screen for incoming video.

Software Development Kits
The MPEG4000XLP 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, Linux and QNX environments and include support libraries, drivers and example applications to help developers fully utilize the MPEG4000XLP 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.
The standard SDKs are available for x86 based embedded PC platforms however, we also offer SDKs suitable for PC/104-Plus based PowerPC and ARM platforms. Please contact our sales team to discuss your requirements.
