Parvus Offers 8-Channel JPEG 2000 Video Encoder Card for Demanding Video Surveillance and Security Applications
CTR-1471 board designed for high reliability and mobile embedded computing applications performing digital video recording
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH - October 18, 2005 - Parvus Corporation today announced availability of the CTR-1471 PC/104-Plus JPEG-2000 encoder card, a high performance eight-channel video compressor module supporting the enhanced features and quality provided by the JPEG 2000 (J2K) - ISO/IEC15444-1 image compression standard. Designed to withstand extreme temperature operation (-40 to +85C) and high mechanical stress, the CTR-1471 is an ideal solution for high reliability and mobile (air, bus, train, other vehicle) video applications, including networked/wireless video and image distribution systems and digital CCTV and surveillance systems.
This highly reliable, embedded PC/104-Plus board implements the computationally intensive operations of the JPEG2000 image compression standard, as well as provides fully compliant code stream generation for most applications that support real-time video encoding. It contains a dedicated wavelet transform engine, three entropy codecs, an onboard memory system and embedded RISC processors to provide a complete JPEG 2000 compression /decompression solution. The board is able to process images at a rate of 40M samples/sec in reversible mode, and at higher rates when used in irreversible mode.
FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
o JPEG 2000 (J2K) - ISO/IEC15444-1 Video Encoding
o Dual RISC Encoding Processors (to offload compression overhead from system CPU)
o 8 NTSC / PAL / SECAM Analog Video Input Channels (for up to 8 cameras)
o Bus: PC/104 (ISA) and PC/104-Plus (PCI)
o Compression Rates: NTSC: 352 x 240 @ 120fps, 720 x 480 @ 30fps; PAL: 352 x 288 @ 100fps ; 720 x 576 @ 25fps
o Physical Dimensions: 3.550" x 3.775" (90L x 96W x 15H mm)
o Operating Temperature: 0°C to +60°C (standard), -40°C to+85°C (extended)
o Programmable Picture Size, Position, Panning, Tilting, Freeze, Image Scaling, Zooming
o Motion Detection: Independent for each video channel
o DIO: 16 GP Digital I/O
PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
The CTR-1471 is now in stock and priced from $765/each in quantities of 100+ units. The unit is also available inside of Parvus' new AlphaDVR system, a highly configurable embedded computer platform designed for digital video recorder (DVR) and general processing applications onboard buses, trains and other demanding mobile environments.
Parvus also offers a 4-channel PC/104-Plus MPEG-4 encoder card designed for similar applications as the CTR-1471 and also available in the AlphaDVR system.
