Matrox Imaging has released the Matrox Morphis DVR-16, a scalable video capture card with real-time multi-channel compression specifically designed for digital video recorders (DVRs).
The Morphis DVR-16 captures from NTSC, PAL, RS-170 and CCIR video sources. A PCI/PCIe card, the Morphis DVR-16 is scalable and can record from four to 16 channels of compressed video and audio. Each channel supports motion, blind and night detection, as well as detection of video loss. The hardware engine can perform real-time compression in MJPEG, and MPEG-4 formats. The display overlay also supports region blanking.
Software support is available for Microsoft Windows XP, and consists of the hardware-independent Matrox Imaging Library (MIL)/ActiveMIL or MIL-Lite/ActiveMIL-Lite development toolkits for creating custom applications.
