4 Channel, Full Frame Rate H.264 Codec for mini PCI

The microH264-D4 is a 4 channel, full frame rate H.264 Codec on a single Type-III mini PCI module. The microH264-D4 provides a powerful solution for capturing and compressing analog video inputs to the H.264 standard. The microH264-D4 not only provides H.264 compression but can also simultaneously decompress and replay recordings from storage to display.

The microH264-D4 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.

SDK's

The microH264-D4 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 microH.264-D4 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 mini PCI based ARM and PowerPC platforms. Please contact our sales team to discuss your requirements.
