AMP Launches Multi-Format Video Encoder
Advanced Micro Peripherals (AMP) has unveiled a multi-format video encoder that combines graphics overlay, motion detection and enhanced watermark authentication on a PC/104-Plus module. The MPEG4000WA captures and compresses up to four concurrent live analogue video inputs to full D1 resolution using either MPEG-4, MPEG-2 or M-JPEG encoding standards. The board can also encode audio for each video channel. It can decompress and play back recordings from storage to display and offers an additional incoming live video path for a simultaneous preview on the host screen. Digital watermark authentication technology assures users that the recorded data is protected from unauthorised tampering, modification or editing. It uses a patented digital watermarking algorithm, which is classed as sensitive, making any attempted interference with the data immediately evident during playback. The algorithm is sensitive to most image manipulation operations, including scaling, cropping, frame removal ...
