VideoPacker Video Capture And Compression

Video Packer is a new board from VIC HI-Tech company that brings real time
capturing, compressing and storing of video images to a standard PC. Video
Packer is capable of capturing full motion video, at 30 frames per second,
from video cassette recorders, laser disk players, video cameras or TV and
displaying it on a standard VGA monitor. It is also fully compatible with
NTSC, PAL, SCAM and S-video signals. Video Packer has unique performance
enhancing features beyond what its competitors offer, some of which are
mentioned below:

Video Packer consists of two boards. The Motherboard is used to capture and
display images and offers most of the features that similar products in
the market offer. The daughter board, however, is where Video Packer is
different from the rest. It adds real time, video and storage, compression
/decompression capability. The daughter board mounts directly onto the
motherboard. hence, using one less slot in the PC and improving internal
processing speed.

The compressed video can be played back from a laser disk player at 30
frames per second with 640x480 resolution. Normally, signals from TV and
camcorders have display resolution of 320x240 pixels. Higher quality
images such as 1024x1024 can be achieved by modifying the standard
software, with direct application to corporate teleconferencing.

Video Packer is capable of displaying images in multiple window sizes of
640x480 and 320x240. It, also, allows for high resolution capture of
single frame still video and is compatible with most image file formats
such as Targa, TIFF, PCX, GIF, and BMP.

Video Packer's motherboard design is based on Chips and Technology's
PC-video chip and the daughter board design is based on the C-Cube
Microsystems's CL550 chip. Areas of application for Video Packer are
considered to be in desktop publishing, pre-production editing,
teleconferencing, cable TV, high quality video transmission through T1
lease lines, presentations, and training.

VideoPacker Kit I, including both boards, is priced at $1399. For a limited
time VIC is offering VideoPacker motherboard bundled with teleconferencing
and image compression software for the price of $499. For additional
