Introducing the VM2-104+ from VITEC MULTIMEDIA,
a revolutionary step forward in MPEG encoding
technology. Specifically designed for system
integrators, VARs and embedded systems,
the VM2-104+ MPEG encoder makes low cost,
high quality MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 encoding
a reality. The VM2-104+ is 100% based on
VITEC's Award Winning technology and fully
benefits from VITEC's newest MPEG compression
chip, the VM2000.
VM2-104+ is a new and innovative MPEG Video
Encoder that is optimized for the unique
requirements of embedded systems where space
is scarce and ruggedness is paramount.
The PC-104-Plus specification establishes
a standard for the use of a high speed PCI
bus in embedded applications. Incorporating
the PCI bus within the industry proven PC-104
form-factor brings many advantages to its
users, including fast data transfer over
a PCI bus, low cost due to PC-104's unique
self-stacking bus, and high reliability
due to PC-104's inherent ruggedness |

More Flexibility
Easy improvement of algorithms over time by
simple software updates. For instance, it
will be possible to implement new algorithms
on the same hardware base in a near the future
by simple software upgrades via the internet.
High Scalability
The same hardware board will benefit from
higher processing power of the PC over time.
The software of the hybrid architecture
automatically detects which PC is used and
scales the motion estimation algorithm to
more powerful modes, thus leading to more
quality or higher compression ratios.
Cost Effective
The hybrid approach requires far less silicon
than the full hardware solution.
Increasing Performance And Features
When a faster PC is used, VM2-104+
will run with higher quality and new features.
This is not the case with other products
on the market.
Easy And Economic Upgrades
No need to buy a new board each time a new
compression algorithm comes to the market.
Just buy and download a new software upgrade
and run it with the board. The overall cost
over time is lower.
Extended Life
A VAR doesn't need to buy a new board and
invest time and money in a new development
each time the next generation of encoding
algorithm comes to the market .
Consistent Installed Base
A VAR can upgrade its installed base of
equipment by a simple software upgrade and
keep a consistent hardware base, which is
much easier for maintenance.
