Key Features
With Stradis standard definition decoders,
your MPEG video application can offer:
- Continuous, seamless back-to-back
playback of multiple MPEG streams (which may be in different formats:
Transport, Program, System or Elementary streams)
- Frame-accurate, synchronized playback
across multiple decoders
- High-speed, random access and display of
any I-Frame in an MPEG file for variable speed reverse and forward play,
plus seamless switching to any I-frame of another stream
- Complete control over all decoder
functions via the Stradis Application Program Interface (API) for
Windows. Applications access the API with a C-style interface using the
__stdcall calling convention
Features for MPEG Decoding and Output
- Decodes all MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 stream
types and produces NTSC or PAL output
- Still picture display from bit-map files
with transition effects and simultaneous audio playback for "slide shows"
- True-color graphics over video or still
pictures with keying and 64 levels of blending and shading
- Digital control of video saturation,
brightness, contrast, gamma and hue
- Hardware Audio/Video synchronization
- Genlock synchronizes decoder output to
external reference H-sync, V-sync and chroma burst (not available on
SDM230)
- Two balanced analog audio outputs with
line-levels up to 28 dBm (not available on SDM230)
- Vertical Interval Time Code (VITC) based
on stream time codes or synthesized by the API
- Wave file playback and raw PCM audio
playback
- Virtual streams based on a single,
repeated I-Frame that can be seamlessly played back-to-back with other
MPEG streams
- Video image can be displayed on the
computer's VGA monitor, with scan-rate and color conversion
