Abstract
This paper describes an MPEG-2 real-time encoding TypeII PC-card system for mobile applications. The PC-card with an notebook PC implements the full functionality based on a set of MPEG-2 video, audio, and system standards. It consists of a dedicated PC-card hardware and a sophisticated PC-software, which are designed and optimized by hardware/software co-design techniques. This PC-card system is good for real-time mobile applications such as video capture and telecommunications.
