AValonRF announces the availability of Module A , a Micro MPEG4 Encoder module

San Diego, January 2005. AValonRF, Inc., announces the immediate availability of it's Micro MPEG4 Encoder module at AFCEA West Expo 2005
February 1-3, 2005, San Diego, CA, USA, Booth 1451
The Micro MPEG4 Encoder Module is an advanced MJPEG/MPEG1 /MPEG2/MPEG4 video compression module. It includes a video & audio Codec, a video & audio pre-processor DSP with a real time clock and OSD, a video compression ASIC and a transport stream post compression DSP.
The MPEG4 Encoder chip used is the WIS GO7007SB or WIS Technologies, which is a multi-format video encoder chip. The CCIR601/656 video is compressed into MPEG-1/2/4, MJPEG, H.263, or GoStream™ formats. The GO7007SB of provides perfect A/V synchronization; improved error resiliency for irregular H-sync and V-sync video sources, and employs a motion-adaptive de-interlacing scheme to ensure optimal video quality. Designed for multimedia PC, DVR/PVR, STB, video conferencing, surveillance, and MPEG-4 enabled DSC/DVC applications; the G07007SB takes image quality to a new level, while delivering D1/VGA streaming video at 30 fps.
