VIDEO CAPTURE AND COMPRESSION IN MPEG AND BMP FORMAT
DCM™ includes a real time video capture and compression PCI card which also features a video out connector. The PCI card grabs and outputs all analog video standards (NTSC, PAL, SECAM, S-Video). The PCI card houses the famous VM2000™ MPEG-2 compression chip from VITEC Multimedia which is the result of an important European research program (ESPRIT) comprising of the best special-sts in the MPEG research field.

Thanks to its unique and highly innovative hybrid architecture, VM2000™ acts as a specialized co-processor and takes full advantage of the ever increasing PC power.

The unique VM2000™ architecture allows the owner of DCM™ to continuously enhance the performance of the card with new features by just purchasing software upgrades thus guaranteeing an unprecedented product upgrade path!

SCALABLE ARCHITECTURE
The DCM utilizes the computer system´s processing power in conjunction with it´s own processor to capture MPEG video. Thus, the faster the computer, the better the DCM can perform. Since VITEC´s hybrid compression architecture automatically uses as much of the available processing power of the PC as it can, the performance of the algorithm depends on the PC itself. Therefore the image quality is also a function of the PC power. In a traditional full hardware MPEG encoder, the quality doesn´t depend on the PC power.

MAIN FEATURES OF THE MPEG ENCODER:

SOFTWARE BUNDLED:
DCM™ is supplied with a complete DVD-Video software package allowing the user to implement all the necessary steps to create and produce either a MiniDVD or a DVD-Video:

ALSO SUPPLIED IN DCM™:
DCM™ comes with all the necessary cables to connect your video sources and video displays to the card: S-Video input and output (mini Din 4 pin), composite input and output (RCA), Audio stereo input and output (mini jack 3.5 mm and RCA).

MINIMAL CONFIGURATION REQUIRED:
Pentium III 500Mhz, 128 Mo RAM, AGP graphics card, UltraDMA or SCSI –2 Hard Disk
DCM would automatically take full profit of any faster PC.
