Both decoder parts, video and audio, are running as built-in DirectShow Filter under MS Windows or as plug-in under RTOS QNX 6.

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

The bitcontrol MPEG decoder 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.

The bitcontrol MPEG decoder 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.

The bitcontrol MPEG Audio Decoder 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.

The bitcontrol MPEG decoder is highly optimized for Intel MMX-, SSE-, or SSE2-equipped processors. It runs on all suitable Intel Pentium processors greater Pentium(r) II, 300 MHz (CIF format).

The bitcontrol MPEG decoder 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.
