  • Page 9: Functional Summary

    Functional summary Signal sources The MPEG4000-D4 is designed to capture and record from up to four separate and unrelated video sources simultaneously. Each of the four video input channels of the MPEG4000-D4 features a video frame grabber and an audio digitizer. Each frame grabber contains a digital NTSC/PAL video and each video channel has an associated audio input.
  • Page 10 Audio data which is part of the original recording is also decoded and played back in synchronisation with the video. In addition to playback to the system display VGA device, the MPEG4000-D4 also provides a composite NTSC/PAL playback output suitable for directly driving a PAL/NTSC or RS170 display device.
  • Page 11 -Plus The MPEG4000-D4 has a full 32-bit PC/104 (PCI Rev 2.1) 3.3v host interface to the host computer. On board jumpers allow the MPEG4000-D4 to be configured -Plus for any of the 4 logical PC/104 stack levels of the host computer.
