Fahrenheit Video 3D User's Manual
MPEG Video
(Software MPEG)
MPEG is a full-motion video compression technology
that allows you to play back high-quality video. It
records changes between frames of data. Rather than
storing information about each individual frame, only
the changed data is stored during recording and reas-
sembled during playback.
With Fahrenheit Video 3D you can view MPEG, AVI
and other digital video formats at up to 30 frames per
second. Fahrenheit Video 3D features the Xing Soft-
ware MPEG codec for full-screen, full-motion playback
of MPEG digital video. This codec algorithm attains the
highest playback quality while optimizing file manage-
ment. It also uses high-quality scaling and pixel inter-
polation algorithms.
The Fahrenheit Video 3D uses your computer's CPU
for software MPEG decoding. Software MPEG play-
back performance is directly related to processor speed,
the current screen resolution and color depth. We
recommend a true 75MHz MPC III (Multimedia Per-
sonal Computer) system for optimum MPEG and AVI
performance.
MPEG Video files can be played using the XingMPEG
Player or any Windows MCI (Media Control Device)
application. MCI is a standard control device for mul-
timedia devices and files.
NOTE: The Fahrenheit Video 3D's MPEG feature is
not compatible with CD titles written exclusively for
the Sigma Designs RealMagic products.
