ReelTime Plus
The ReelTime Plus is a single channel MPEG-2 playback card for PC compatibles. With the ability to play back MPEG-2 streams to a composite video output, along with MPEG-1/ MPEG-2 audio, it is ideally suited for applications such as video-on-demand, ad/commercial insertion and broadcast video servers.
In addition to stereo MUSICAM audio,
there are four broadcast-quality NTSC or PAL composite, S-Video and RBG/S video outputs.
An on-screen display is included for overlaying graphics or text
information onto the MPEG-2 video with varying degrees of transparency.
A genlock/video switching option is available to genlock
with an external source. A video switch on the board can select the MPEG-2 generated on
the board or the external video as the output. Audio can be switched at the same time,
with volume and tone control.
The card includes drivers for Windows NT(TM). A Developer’s Kit is
available which provides support for OEM applications and can facilitate a port to other
operating systems such as Unix derivatives.
