Breakthrough Price-Performance for Video Acceleration
• Pyro Kompressor HD offers 4X the cost-effectiveness of other programmable accelerators with its teraOPS-class, massively-parallel chip.
• On-chip PCI Express® reduces cost, power and footprint.
Integrated With MainConcept® and Adobe®
• Acceleration is plug-and-play enabled in Adobe Premiere® Pro CS3 and Adobe After Effects® CS3 Professional. Accelerator controls are integrated in the Adobe GUI as well.
• The MainConcept ReferenceTM transcoder application is also available, integrated for acceleration, including accelerator GUI controls. Includes extensive Blu-ray presets, watch-folder automation, plus logo/branding of the GUI and documentation for OEMs.
• Included Reference decoders enable a broad range of transcoding: DV, HDV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, H.264, AVCHD, AVC-Intra, VC-1*, XDCAM, DVCPRO 25/50, DVCPRO-HD/100, JPEG2000*, RGB and YUV files, plus DirectShow* and QuickTime import. * Only on Windows/DirectShow
Plug-and-Play With MainConcept-Licensed Applications
• Pending testing, multiple applications incorporate Pyro Kompressor HD - compatible MainConcept HW APIs, which expands the available market.
The Accelerator Board
• One massively-parallel processor with 336 RISC processors,
delivering a teraOPS of video horsepower.
• Fits 4-, 8- and 16-lane PCI Express slots (non-graphics)
• 256 MBytes memory
• Approximately 15 Watts typical power, 5 Watts idle power
• 2.7”x 5” board dimensions, single-slot clearance
• Low-profile fan for reliable operation in low-airflow systems

Easy to install
• Based on the PCI Express® standard, the accelerator card is easy to install
and is compatible with more systems, compared to the older PCI/PCI-X standard.
Ease of Deployment and Support
• PCI Express is inherently easier to install and support than older
interface standards
• Extensive testing with multiple industry test labs helps ensure
compatibility with modern PC and Apple Intel-based systems.
Platforms
• Initial support is for Windows® XP Pro 32-bit and Apple Mac OS® X Leopard (coming soon)
• Laptops with ExpressCard slot and a Magma™ PCIe ExpressBox™
• Refer to www.pyroav.com for a list of supported systems and motherboards.
