January 25, 2008 - Liantec Systems announced the TBM-1420 industrial embedded Tiny-Bus 4-/16-channel video capture DVR module, with PCI Express bus interface and four onboard PCI-based Conexant BT878A video capture controllers. With the better data transfer bandwidth of PCI Express and embedded Tiny-Bus modular expansion solution, the TBM-1420 will be the suitable video and image input solution based for the x86-based computing applications who need multiple channel of real time, D1 resolution and 16M true color of video and image frame quality, such as DVR (Digital Video Recorder), frame grabber instrument and high performance video capture, mix, duplication, encoding and streaming server station.
High Performance PCI Express Bus Interface
The TBM-1420 is based on the high performance PCI-Express bus interface and offers four 32-bit / 33MHz PCI bus interfaces with an onboard PCI Express to PCI bridge. The PCI Express bus interface offers 250MB/s of data transfer bandwidth based on the serial type, full duplex interconnection, much more than 133MB/s of PCI bus interface. This feature can solve problem of data bandwidth between the video input and motherboard for the four channel of real time video input on multi-channel digital video recorder (DVR) application.
Easy-Upgradeable Traditional PCI-based Video Capture Controller
To make the upgrade easier, faster and smoothly, the TBM-1420 is integrated with four popular PCI-based video input controllers, the Conexant BT878A, supports Microsoft Windows, XPe, WinCE, Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6, and most of popular embedded OS. With this feature, the system integrators can upgrade the DVR / video input systems from PCI to PCI Express class, with the same software based on the same traditional video capture controller. That is, the TBM-1420 can help the DVR, video input and frame grabber application to upgrade the data transfer performance with the same software, don't need to develop a new one.
Onboard Four Channel of Video Input with Real Time, D1 Resolution and True Color
The TBM-1420 supports four channel of video input with four onboard video capture controllers with four PCI bus interface from PCI Express to PCI bridge. Each channel of video input is designed by an independent video capture controller, and each controller is designed by an independent PCI bus. This feature makes the benefit of video input performance for the applications with multiple channel, real time, D1 resolution and 16M true color of video and frame image.
