The high performance MPEG-4 video data compression and reduced bus Plus utilization allows up to four MPEG4000-D4 cards to be fitted in a PC/104- system to provide up to 16 concurrent video streams to disk or across a network. AMP can provide custom configurations (subject to a minimum order quantity) for the MPEG4000-D4.
Real-time video preview to system VGA and analog NTSC / PAL output. ▪ Motion detection available on all channels. ▪ RS-485 PTZ control output (optional) ▪ Up to four MPEG4000-D4 cards per system. ▪ -Plus PC/104 DMA operation for low CPU usage. ▪...
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.

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.

-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.
The European RoHS Directive (Restriction on the use of certain Hazardous Substances – Directive 2002/95/EC) limits the amount of six specific substances within the composition of the product. The MPEG4000-D4 is RoHS compliant. Related documentation The following documentation and software may be of use whilst reading this guide: ▪...

Recording options Multi-channel recording modes The MPEG4000-D4 can perform recording of up to four channels at full resolution during multi-channel recording at a configurable frame rates. There is the option to record only video or both video and audio. Video from the four frame grabber channels A, B, C and D is recorded as 4 separate and individual streams.
CBR therefore does not guarantee that the bit rate in practice will be exactly as set – the MPEG4000-D4 simply does its best to achieve the set CBR figure. The real life bit rate when in CBR mode will depend on the incoming video, motion and other environmental factors.
