Challenging surveillance/C4ISR applications depend heavily on video. The Tech Source Condor VC100xX H.264 XMC high-quality video capture and compression card consumes just 7 W of power yet still delivers high-profile H.264 stream quality video at a low bit rate to support rugged rear I/O surveillance applications using the VPX platform.
The Condor VC100xX is a rugged and fully conduction-cooled XMC form factor module featuring an H.264 video encoder with baseline, main, and high-profile support up to Level 4.1. It supports up to four composite video inputs (NTSC/PAL/SECAM) or up to two SDI inputs (HD-SDI/SD-SDI), all of which are selectable through the provided API. The module also has two stereo or four mono audio inputs. Exceptionally high-quality video data is captured and stored in files and made available to applications for processing, analysis, or display on a local graphics card. The Condor VC100xX also supports video stream transfer via UDP or TCP/IP using RTP and RTSP protocols for remote display of captured data with low latency.
