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.
