Advanced Micro Peripherals has introduced a high performance, ultra low latency H.264 encoder card, the H264-HD2000.
The H264-HD2000 is a low latency H.264 encoder available on a single PCI/104 form factor board. It allows system builders to add high definition analogue and digital video capture with H.264/MPEG-4 AVC (Part 10) encoding to their embedded PC equipment designs.
The powerful encoding engine supports ultra low latency full frame rate encoding of two HD video sources at up to 1080p30. The card also has the capability for a single channel encode at full 1080p60 and perform stream duplication of the digital video input to provide multiple encodings of the same input. This allows streams to be created at different resolution, compression settings dependent on requirements and available bandwidth.
The card accepts both analogue and digital video input. Digital video is received from DVI/HDMI sources at a full range of resolutions from 480p60 up to 1080p60. High definition (HD) analogue video data can be taken from YPbPR, RGsB (Sync on Green) or VGA (separate HSync, VSync). The H264-HD2000 is also available with extended temperature range options (-40°C to +85°C) and a long term availability. The card is supported on range of operating systems including Windows, Linux, QNX. Other embedded operating systems may be supported on request.
This high definition, ultra low latency H.264 encoder card is well suited for applications in defence, transportation, remote platforms, and situational awareness, among others.
