Advantech 4K HRVC & AVC Broadcast Video Encoding/Decoding/Transcoding Card

VEGA-3310 is a high performance video processing accelerator card supporting professional grade 4K/UHD encoding, decoding and transcoding at a very low power consumption. It allows these features to be added to systems that support a standard PCI Express architecture such as PC/IT server based video applications. The technology underlying VEGA-3310 is the latest encoding/decoding SoC. Each device supports HEVC, AVC, and MPEG2 real-time encoding, decoding, and transcoding at up to 4Kp60 with 10 bit colour depth and 4:2:2 chroma sampling. HEVC compression is particularly relevant for 4K UltraHD transmission which requires a much higher stream capacity. These bandwidth reduction improvements are achieved at the penalty of much higher computation complexity, with two general purpose server class processors required to perform a 4K 60fps software-based broadcast quality HEVC encoding in real time. The technology behind VEGA-3310 can do the same task in under 35W, and VEGA-3310 can also support up to 4Kp120 high frame rate for next generation sports broadcasts and 360 degree VR applications

This card feature a simple-to-use API and example code for FFmpeg and GStreamer multimedia frameworks to streamline product development and integration into existing applications.
