Application Examples
The single board computer inside the CompactPCI system is based on Intel Core 2 Duo architecture with two 64-bit processors and state-of-the-art PC interfaces.
This application is a combination of a digital video recorder and a video display server and is part of a larger communication and surveillance system based on CompactPCI.
Using standard-based embedded hardware with sufficient ruggedization, processing and graphics performance and IP connectivity changes the way movies are made.
