Technology > Multi-rate Scalable Motion Adaptive Video Coder (SMAC-M)
 

SMAC-M is a revolutionary video compression technology developed by TeleEye specially for video surveillance applicaion.

SMAC-M is the first video coder in the market that uses a multi-stream coding technology to solve the conflicting requirements of simultaneous recording and remote surveillance.

 

Characteristics

  • Specially designed for CAMERIO RX Series, CX Series & NX Series Video Recording Server & Network Cameras.

  • Separate data streams for recording & transmission
  • Output: 5 independent digital video streams at different bit rates, real-time video recording, LAN, broadband Internet, phone line & mobile channel
  • Simultaneous efficient remote video surveillance & DVD-quality recording

 

Superior Compression Performance than MPEG-4 Technology

  • For the same HDD, CAMERIO RX & CX Series incorporated with SMAC-M can record 60% more than MPEG-4 and 29% more than H.264 at the same picture resolution, quality and frame rate.
  • For transmission, SMAC-M is 3 times faster than MPEG-4 and 80% faster than H.264 under ADSL environment.

(1) Recording Comparison :
  Recording Performance
Coder Resolution: 720 x 576 ; Rate: 25fps
MPEG-4 56 GB / day
H.264 45 GB / day
SMAC-M 35 GB / day
SMAC-M: Record 29% more than H.264

(2) Transmission Comparison :
  Transmission on LAN at 100Mbps Transmission on ADSL at 128kbps
Coder Resolution:
720 x 576
Rate: 25fps
Resolution:
720 x 576
MPEG-4 5.5 Mbps 3 fps
H.264 3.3 Mbps 5 fps
SMAC-M 2.5 Mbps 9 fps
SMAC-M: 80% faster than H.264 on ADSL


Unlike traditional video coders such as M-PEG or H.264 which compress the incoming analog video and output a single digital video stream, SMAC-M generates multiple video streams which allow multiple remote users to obtain reasonable surveillance performance for their respective channel requirements without affecting each other. SMAC-M provides truly "no compromise" on efficient video transmission and excellent DVD quality recording performance.
