MPEGIo2

Descripción del producto

MPEGIO2 encodes superior quality multiple-channel full D1 video and always synchronized audio in real-time, while simultaneously offers Colour Text/Graphics Overlay,Picture-in-Picture encoding,Multi-Pin Digital I/O Control, PAL-and-NTSC conversion,Multi-Channel Live Video Preview, low-latency Video Streaming,Seamless Recording File Splitting, and many other powerful functions

*- Using hardware chipset, MPEGIO2 encode/compress MPEG2, MPEG4, MPEG1 video without involving PC CPU at bit-rates *5Mbps ~ **8Kbps, with many adjustable MPEG Encoding Parameters inc. Program Stream and Transport Stream, frame sizes **0X**6/**0 ~ **6X**4 Pixels, multiple aspect ratio, frame rates, CBR/VBR, GOP, I-Frame only, Live User Data Insertion, etc. MPEGIO2encoded MPEG video can play on most video players on PC and on set-top boxes, can be edited by most editing software, and can be burned as DVD/SVCD/VCD movie disks without further software conversion.

*- MPEGIO2 alsodecode/play MPEG2/4/1 video encoded by itself or by other device/software simultaneously to PC screen, external TV monitor and IP network: compared with software decoding, MPEGIO2s hardware MPEG decoding consumes minimum PC CPU power even on multiple channel simultaneous playback, and requires no MPEG codec software installed on PC.

*- MPEGIO2can stream MPEG video over any IP network, independent of video recording and video preview processes, i.e., MPEGIO2 can silently stream video without recording to file or previewing on PC screen. Both real-time encoded and decoded MPEG video can be streamed out. MPEGIO2 streams video in UDP protocol which can be received and played in real-time by software like VideoLan(vlc.exe)or hardware like Amino Set-top box etc.

*- Multiple Video Input / Output: each MPEGIO2channel has 3 RCA(Composite) and 1 SVideo sockets and 2 RCA + 2 SVideo output sockets: simultaneous video can be arranged as Picture-in-Picture, Picture-by-Picture on PC screen preview and inside encoded MPEG video, as well as directly on the video output sockets to be displayed on external TVs. Each channel can also pick up its companion channels video to form a one-, two-encoding scenario so that one can be real-time recorded or streamed as 2 different format MPEG video. All Video I/O and Digital I/O sockets are provided through an external Breakout Box connected through a single cable to the PCIe card. Each MPEGIO2 channel has 4 Sub-Windows each can display video from a selectable video source and can be arbitrarily arranged within video frame in any position and size.

*-  Extensive video configuration are provided: in addition to the usual colour brightness/contrast/hue/saturation/sharpness controls, MPEGIO2 also allows each video to adjust AGC gain, cropping, White Peak Detection threshold etc. Each video can be displayed inside one or more Sub Windows which have size and position in the entire video frame previewed and encoded: Sub Windows can have border, mirror/flip, zoom enabled, and can automatically display special colour or freeze last image when signal is lost.

*- PAL and NTSC / output simultaneously supported and their conversion allowed: PAL-to-NTSC, NTSC-to-PAL conversion is handled in real-time.MPEGIO2can accept PAL video and encode them as NTSC MPEG or vice versa. it can also allow mixed PAL and NTSC video to appear in its different sockets and displayed simultaneously on PC screen and output port, and encoded into one MPEG file. Input socket can also automatically detect and switch between PAL and NTSC signal change.

*- Colour Textand Graphics Overlay (OSD or Superimposition) on incoming video previewed on PC screen, output to external TV and encoded in MPEG video: overlay items include arbitrary ASCII and Unicode (Japanese/Chinese/Korean etc.) text in any sizes and typefaces, timer and counter, graphics file, rectangles and background boxes, with alpha transparency and blinking capability.

*- MPEGIO2 also has Multiple Audio Input / Output built-in: 2 pairs of stereo line-in audio allows audio signal to be mixed before being live previewed on PC speakers and encoded into MPEG data. Live audio monitoring output  and live MPEG decoding audio to external speakers are also available. Each channel can also send its audio output to the matching channel on the same PCIe card so that one channel's audio can be heard and encoded on two MPEGIO2 channels. *2KHz, *4.1KHz and *8KHz audio sampling rates can be selected for audio preview on PC speakers and audio encoding into MPEG data. Various audio volume controls, inc. gain, mute, amplifying and *6dB reduction on individual audio sub-channels are supported.

*- 4Digital I/O Pinsare built in for each MPEGIO2 channel, allowing external industrial devices to send or receive voltage pulse to or from MPEGIO2 card: voltage from external devices can trigger various actions on the MPEGIO2software, such as video recording and streaming, image capture, overlay display, etc. Using MPEGIO2 SDK,extra events like Motion Detect, Video Loss, Night and Blind Detect can also trigger various video processing actions. The bundled application software also has manual controls for each Digital I/O Pin to send Low and High pulse to external device.

*- Live Video Preview on all incoming channels can be turned on or off any time independent of MPEG encoding and streaming: the live on-screen video preview for every channel is perfectly time-synchronized with their signal, and the audio heard from the PC's speakers is always lip-sync'ed with the video. Full screen video display on any channel can be achieved by simple mouse clicking. Every channel can also show its operation status together with the video: recording, streaming, etc. through user-configurable preview text lines. Multiple channels can be flexibly arranged inside a resizable and moveable window with a user-definable channels-per-row parameter.

*-  Still Image Capture on one or multiple channels can start at any time unrelated to video preview and MPEG encoding/decoding: full size **0X**6 and **0X***-Pixel images in BMP, JPG, GIF/TGA and PNG format can be captured on either single channel or simultaneously on multiple channels.

*-   Seamless Splitting Recording File allows continuous video to be recorded on multiple any-sized files for convenient DVD/CD disk burning. Not only recording can be split according to pre-defined file size or recording-time, MPEGIO2 also allows arbitrary file split live at recording time by a simple mouse clicking, and all the split files have perfect video/audio sync for consecutive DVD movie disk creation. TheSeamless Split will not lose any video data: stitching the split files together will create a single MPEG file that is the same as a continuous recording without splitting.

*-  InstantPause and Resumerecording (in the same MPEG file), timer andScheduler recording, video-only recording, etc. are allowed in both the application software and supported by the SDK.

*- Command-line Switches: MPEGIO2accepts command line switches to start recording / streaming video immediately on its startup, or to configure the channels in different ways.
