H.264 High Definition IP Camera Module

Blu-Ray Quality IP Camera

Cappella is designed primarily to enable cutting edge streaming IP cameras, but it can also serve as a daughterboard integrated into various H.264 codec applications. Cappella is a 42mm x 42mm module capable of encoding HD video up to 1920 x 1080 resolution at 30FPS. Cappella uses advanced H.264 Level 4.1 High Profile video compression providing video quality equivalent to Blu-Ray at half the bit rates of MPEG2. Cappella’s video quality over IP is the highest resolution of any steaming IP video module on the market today.

Maxim’s Mobilygen Core

Inside Cappella is Maxim’s Mobilygen MG3500 H.264 High Profile Hardware Codec. The MG3500 is the world’s most technologically advanced HD Codec SOC. Depending on the configuration, Cappella can encode a single channel of 30FPS HD 1080p Blu_Ray quality video, or four channels of real-time full-resolution D1 30FPS (120FPS total) DVD quality NTSC/PAL video over IP. Cappella’s H.264 High Profile encoding allows the highest quality video per bit rate. A camera built around the Cappella board provides HD quality streaming video over IP, broadcast over great distances, that far surpasses the video quality of a SD camera plugged in even a few feet from the monitoring station.

Advanced Decoder

Cappella is also capable of decoding and displaying up to eight channels of 30FPS D1 or a single channel of 30FPS HD 1080p. Cappella’s small size, advanced codec, network connectivity, stunning image quality, and versatility of connection make it the ideal companion module for portable video applications.
