Network Attached Video Capture

NAViC is a standalone device for real-time capturing and streaming of audio and video signals up to 1080i @60Hz. Basically, it was developed due to the lack of suitable interfaces on IBM's QS20 system based on Cell Broadband Engine™ processor.

It is DSP based device with numerous audio/video inputs featuring on-the-fly lossless video compression (up to 1:3 factor).

NAViC supports libraries for optimized compression (DSP) and decompression (Cell/B.E), high performance control and data streaming network protocol (DSP, Cell/B.E, PC, Windows/Linux).

• SD and HD support
