- ULTRA/MP2 is a compact multiformat MPEG-2 and DVCPRO disk recorder
implemented on a single PCI board. The controller may be configured
for various NLE, disk recorder and video server environments. The dual
channel codec supports common broadcast compression standards, especially
MPEG-2 PP@ML and DVCPRO-25/50. MPEG-2 transfer rates are programmable
between 2 and 50 MBits/sec. Single pass VBR coding, a requirement for
DVD applications, is also supported.
With provisions for dual channel and dual stream operation, dual stream
playback, simultaneous encode/decode and precision video genlock, ULTRA/MP2
controllers may be customized for many different application. Additional
flexibility is achieved by an integrated digital video router connected
to the SDI and MOVIEBUS-II I/O channels. An onboard LVD disk controller
(80 MByte/sec) is available for disk recorder and video server applications.
ULTRA/MP2 provides two uncompressed AES/EBU audio channels per
video channel. Embedded audio is available as option. Third party audio
compressors may also be used with the controller.
If required, up to four ULTRA/MP2 controllers may be installed
in a PCI backplane, providing a maximum of 8 video and 16 audio channels.
Device drivers, API libraries, example programs and third party plugins
are available for Windows NT and selected UNIX environments.
