LETCHWORTH, UK – August 19, 2009 — Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing, a leading designer and manufacturer of rugged deployed commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) VME, VPX, VXS and CompactPCI products for the aerospace and defense market, has announced the PMC-281, its first MPEG4/H.264 high-definition video capture/compression PMC interface card. The rugged conduction-cooled PMC-281 joins the recently introduced XMC-280 JPEG2000 compression module, and the earlier Orion PMC, to expand the company’s embedded COTS video compression capabilities. Designed for demanding military applications, the PMC-281 facilitates the design of video distribution and/or recording in applications such as military systems that provide situational awareness.

“The PMC-281 provides hardware accelerated MPEG4/H.264 compression using low-power ASIC technology,” said Lynn Patterson, vice president and general manager of Modular Solutions, Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing. “We can now offer our customers the choice between MPEG4 and JPEG20000, the two major compression algorithms for HD video. With our expanded video capture/compression family our customers can tailor cost, power consumption and compression specifications to the needs of their applications.”

The PMC-281 supports two channels of MPEG4/H.264 video compression at resolutions up to 1920×1080 facilitating the distribution of multiple channels of high-definition video over standard Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) networks and storage on modestly-sized media.

An ideal solution for a wide variety of system requirements, the PMC-281 joins the XMC-280 to provide system designers with a greater range of video configuration choices, and to easily and quickly enable them to integrate open standards-based video compression technology into their COTS system. Its industry-standard PMC form-factor enables it it to be rapidly deployed in a variety of system types such as PCs, rack-mount systems and conduction-cooled enclosures.

PMC-281 Key Features:

· Two video Inputs (each can be Digital DVI, Analog RGB or PAL/NTSC composite).

· Support for one channel of 1080p60 or two channels of resolutions up to and including 1080i60.

· Two DVI-D digital outputs

· 33MHz, 32-bit PCI transmission of captured/compressed video

· Compression and decompression using H.264 baseline and main profile up to L4.2 (MPEG4 Part 10/AVC)
