Bitcontrol(r) MPEG 2 decoder 2.1

The bitcontrol(r) MPEG-2 video and audio decoder is part of the bitcontrol(r) media player for MS Windows(r) 98/ME/2K/XP and for RTOS QNX(r) 6.x. Both decoder parts, video and audio, are running as built-in DirectShow(r) Filter under MS Windows(r) or as plug-in under RTOS QNX(r) 6.

You can also use it in conjunction with Windows Media Player or other multi-media players, which are able to load DirectShow(r) filters or QNX(r) plug-ins.

It is very robust against input failures, like drop outs of the input stream, like bit errors and other signal noise. So, the decoder is very suitable for DVB-T, DVB-S and internet streaming applications. It is capable of real-time decoding of MPEG-2 video bitstreams of all profiles and all levels up to High Levels with 80 Mbps, including 4:2:2 chroma format, e.g. for Main Profile Main Level,.

The decoder is compatible with ISO/IEC13818-2 (MPEG-2 video) and ISO/IEC 11172-2 (MPEG-1 video) standards. Most of the standard requirements are implemented, except minor usual features, e.g. except for the scalable mode features Spatial and SNR and except for 4:4:4.

It supports the audio formats LPCM and MPEG-1 Layer 1/2. For video files using the AC-3 audio code, audio filters of third parties have to be used.
It is highly optimized for Intel(r) MMX-, SSE-, or SSE2-equipped processors. It runs on all suitable Intel(r) Pentium(r) processors greater Pentium(r) II, 300 MHz (CIF format).
It contains additional useful features for customer applications, like overlay rendering of bitmaps with 7-Bit alpha blending, freeze frame as JPEG-file, clock rendering etc.
