High quality, low bit-rate H.264/AVC encoder accelerator. Accelera AVE accelerates the performance of PC-based software AVC SD and HD video encoding for IPTV, HD-DVD/Blu-Ray, video-on-demand, corporate streaming and broadcast applications. 

All the flexibility of a high quality software encoder
 
Accelera AVE maintains the same API as MainConcept's leading H.264 encoder, allowing existing applications to immediately benefit from a significant uplift in encoding performance. Users also have complete flexibility and control over advanced parameters such as motion estimation, using the same familiar interface. 

• H.264 Baseline, Main and High Profile encoding
• Comprehensive support for H.264 Main/High Profile tools, including CABAC, MBAFF, deblocking, and exhaustive intra-mode search
• Multi-card support for real-time HD H.264 encoding 

Available as a software upgrade from the MPEG-2 encoder.

Power packed accelerator engine

Accelera AVE harnesses the power of Aspex's ultra-high performance "Extreme Processors" to pack more than 16,000 processing elements on a single PC plug-in card, accelerating PC video compression performance making light work of processor-intensive H.264 tasks such as motion estimation and intra-mode selection.

• Accelera 3000 family - Accelera 3000 PCI-X card and Accelera 3500 PCI-e card priced at $8995* (MSRP) support multiple simultaneous HD video compression jobs.
• Accelera 2000 family - Accelera 2000 PCI-X card and Accelera 2500 PCI-e card priced at $4995* (MSRP) performs one H.264 or MPEG-2 compression task at a time.

Accelera AVE boosts performance by 3x-4x for HD H.264 encoding. Realtime HD H.264 performance is available using two cards.
