Description Compaq is introducing a new MPEG1 decoder capable of providing full-screen, full-motion digital video plus CD-quality sound. Unlike software MPEG playback solutions, this hardware-based MPEG accelerator displays MPEG video files at 30 frames per second without dropping a single frame. Enjoy the smoothest, most realistic video and audio available at the desktop. MPEG is a series of standards developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group, for the purpose of producing very high rates of compression of digital video and audio. The specification also makes the video scalable, so MPEG video files can be viewed full-screen. Increasing numbers of video files are being distributed in MPEG format, whether via the Internet or CD-ROM. These files can be viewed at the desktop with either hardware decoding products, such as the Compaq MPEG1 Decoder, or a software decoder. The advantage of hardware decoding is performance - video and audio playback is completely smooth, with none of the jerkiness caused by skipped frames. This decoder allows you to attain perfect video quality - a smooth, realistic video playback. Audio quality is matched with 16-bit CD-quality stereo sound. This decoder supports resolutions from 640 x 480 up to 1280 x 1024, all with 16.7 million colors and is MPC Level 3 compliant. Installation has never been so easy with a Plug and Play support in Windows 95. Moreover, you have a CD title included - Compton's Encyclopedia, MPEG version. Try Compaq's winning combination of legendary quality and reliability and you'll never feel disappointed.
