SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2005--CTR-1471 board designed for high reliability and mobile embedded computing applications performing digital video recording
Parvus Corp. 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 +85 C) 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 JPEG 2000 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
-- JPEG 2000 (J2K) - ISO/IEC15444-1 Video Encoding

-- Programmable Picture Size, Position, Panning, Tilting, Freeze, Image Scaling, Zooming
-- Motion Detection: Independent for each video channel
-- 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 on board 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.
