Versatile design
Matrox Morphis QxT is a cost-effective peripheral board ideal for surveillance
applications with advanced video analytics that require capture from multiple
standard video sources with no latency. An on-board real-time multi-channel
MPEG-4 encoder for video archiving and/or transmission makes Matrox
Morphis QxT ideal for demanding surveillance applications.
16 video decoder architecture
Matrox Morphis QxT allows for the simultaneous capture from up to 16
independent standard video sources. A large dedicated buffer guarantees reliable
capture of raw video to the host PC for use in video analytics operations or
display, and simultaneously to the onboard real-time multi-channel MPEG-4
encoder. Moreover, video images can be formatted in real-time during capture.
Formatting features include cropping (ROI), horizontal and/or vertical flipping
and subsampling.

Real-time multi-channel MPEG-4 encoding with audio
Matrox Morphis QxT integrates a real-time multi-channel MPEG-4 encoder.
MPEG-4 is the ISO/IEC standard developed by MPEG (Moving Picture Experts
Group), which provides an optimal compression ratio without compromising
quality, ideal for the transmission of video over a medium with restricted
bandwidth or for maximizing video storage. The real-time multi-channel MPEG-4
encoder supports 16 CIF2 or four full D13 video streams at once. Parameters
such as frame rate, resolution, or bit rate can be changed on-the-fly and on a
per channel basis without stoping and restarting the encoding. Up to 16 mono
audio inputs can also be encoded (ADPCM4
) synchronized to/with with the video
with a sampling rate from 8KHz to 48KHz.
