Apple MPEG Media System
This is an MPEG-1 decoder card which installs into an LC PDS slot and then connects to an existing video input card. This is meant for certain LC style Macs with AV capabilities.
The Apple MPEG Media System lets you watch full-screen, full-motion, high-resolution, VHS-quality video on your Macintosh.
It lets you resize the video window up to the full size of your screen, and place it anywhere on the screen. And it gives you comprehensive control over your viewing of multimedia CDs, letting you play, pause, step forward, or reverse. (The MPEG standard, set by the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG), ensures that various hardware and software systems all use the same rules of compression and decompression, for consistently high-quality video display.) The Apple MPEG Media System works with Macintosh and Power Macintosh computers that are equipped with an LC processor-direct slot, a video slot, a CD-ROM drive, and the Apple Video System or Apple TV/Video System. The Apple MPEG Media System consists of the following components:
- Apple MPEG Card
- Apple Video Player software
- A selection of CD-ROMs, including games and interactive education titles
- Internal connector cable
The C-Cube MPEG decoder on this board is the same one used in the Apple Interactive Television Box.
