Tiny MPEG compression board

The microMPEG4 from Advanced Micro Peripherals is a sub credit-card sized, four-channel MPEG-4 video compression module based on the 32bit mini PCI form factor. It provides a low-power, high-performance solution for capturing and compressing up to four concurrent live analogue video and audio inputs to full D1 resolution using MPEG-4.

The microMPEG4 from 1039 Advanced Micro Peripherals is a sub credit-card sized, four-channel MPEG-4 video compression module based on the 32bit mini PCI form factor. It provides a low-power, high-performance solution for capturing and compressing up to four concurrent live analogue video and audio inputs to full D1 resolution using MPEG-4.

The microMPEG4 is now supported with Linux drivers for ARM platforms as well as standard x86 systems making it suitable for platform solutions using 4243 Intel's IXP4xx family of ARM/XScale network communication processors.

According to Advanced Micro Peripherals, the combination of these Intel ARM-compatible solutions and the microMPEG4 enables developers to create powerful monitoring solutions with resilient, fully encrypted network communications.

    Caldecott Tunnel’s new Fourth Bore is utilising a bespoke high-capacity monitoring and communications network from Moxa. The Caldecott Tunnel connects Contra Costa and Alameda counties in Northern California and traditionally it has suffered severe congestion - especially during peak hours. Opened in 1937 as a twin-bore arrangement, by 1964 the increase in traffic volumes led to a third bore being added. Shortly after the third bore was opened a tidal flow was introduced with the centre bore alternating in

    The continued expansion of IP camera networks increases the availability of useful information. At the same time, the opportunity exists to increase inter-agency collaboration. This makes information management all the more necessary in the control room environment. But the transportation sector could do a lot to help itself by gaining a better idea up front of what and how it wants to do things, says Electrosonic's Karl Johnson.
