VM2
is VITEC's award winning hybrid encoder
designed for custom development. Built on
VITEC Multimedia's revolutionary technology
designs, the VM2 can quickly be customized
to meet your own application needs. Real-time
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 Encoder Hybrid Encoder
Technology Upgradeable and Scalable SIF,
HD1, FD1 resolutions Composite and S-Video
Input
Introducing the VM2-1 and VM2-2 from VITEC
MULTIMEDIA, a revolutionary step forward
in MPEG encoding technology. Specifically
designed for system integrators, VARs and
embedded systems, the VM2 family of MPEG
encoders makes low cost, high quality MPEG-1
and MPEG-2 encoding a reality. The VM2 family
is 100% based on VITEC's Award Winning technology
and fully benefits from VITEC's newest MPEG
compression chip, the VM2000. VITEC has
developed this next generation of MPEG compression
chip using a revolutionary concept : hybrid
technology. The VM2000 utilizes the full
potential of your computer's processor,
along side it's own powerful coprocessor
and software capabilities. This combination
results in a cost effective solution with
unparalleled scalability.

Product
Features |
- 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, VM2-1 and VM2-2
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.
