2.2 Features and benefits
The video decoder card is a 4-channel PCI-based add-in card that provides
high performance MPEG-4 decoding from a local HD, or a remote video
products to analog video signals. This allows video devices such as TV
system, analog monitors or existing analog video switches to be connected
to our IP-base surveillance video system.
This video decoder card also provides digital video signals output via an
ACTi proprietary cable connect to the ACTi’s PCI-6100, the real-time
dislay PCI-based add-in card. This saves lots of CPU loading for supporting
a large system.

Up to full D1 MPEG-4 video decoding
The video decoder card can convert network MPEG-4 stream into
analog video signals. It also can automatically detect the remote stream
format, resolution and video standards. With ASIC based hardware
decoder, this video decoder card is capable of decoding video at full
frame rate (30/25 fps). The analog video resolution of more than 500
TV lines (depends on quality of video source)
z
Supports both regular TV system and digital-TV
The video decoder card supports composite video output. This feature
allows analog video devices such as regular TV sets, analog monitors
and existing analog video switches to be connected to our IP
surveillance video system.
z
Digital Time Code Embedded
The “Digital Time Code Embedded” function is to embed the
recording time in the MPEG bit stream. Therefore, each image frame
has its respective time when it was recorded. It is very useful when
users want to find the video at an exact time or between a certain time
intervals.

Software Development Kit Support
The video decoder card can be integrated or controlled by user’s
application program through the Streaming Library or ActiveX control.
With its high level programming interface, software developer’s time
and efforts to is highly reduced.
