Barco introduces second-generation streaming video card
Infocomm, Anaheim, CA, US – 19 June 2007 – Barco announced today that it has introduced its second-generation streaming video card (SVC-2). With this release, Barco is offering a universal decoder solution with increased processing power platform to handle large amounts of video sources encoded with complex compression algorithms in real-time and with minimal latency.
Barco’s SVC-2 streaming video card is used in control room setups to visualize information streams from multiple suppliers as well as multiple compression technologies. The benefits of SVC-2 are even more impressive than the first-generation streaming video card. SVC-2 can decode four simultaneous MPEG-4 Part 2 4CIF ASP streams per card and will provide support for MPEG-4 Part 10 (H.264), MPEG-2, SCN and specific Wavelets.“SVC-2 improves on flexibility as it allows graceful technological migration,” says Robert Wu, Senior Director, Market Strategy at Barco's Security and Monitoring Division. “Thanks to the card’s multiple Digital Signal Processors (DSP) architecture, it unifies different video-over-IP networks by supporting multiple compression algorithms on each card simultaneously.”
