All-in-One Video Motherboard Handles 16 Channels of H.264 Video

Lanner introduces industry’s first x86 video encoding motherboard with 16-channel H.264

(Taipei, Taiwan – November 5, 2008) Lanner Electronics, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of
advanced network video technologies, today announced the release of the world’s first 16-channel
integrated H.264 video motherboard for Video over IP applications. The Lanner VM-8016 all-in-one video
encoding motherboard simultaneously captures and encodes 16 channels of analog video to H.264
compressed digital format directly on the motherboard without external capture cards.

“The VM-8016 addresses the compatibility and long-term support issues of commercial motherboards
and video capture cards,” said Herman Chen, Lanner Electronics Video Communications Product
Manager. “By including the video encoding hardware, audio and alarm inputs and outputs on the
motherboard, our customers do not have to worry about compatibility, and can build more flexibility into
their product offerings, reduce development time and achieve faster time to market,” he said.

The Lanner VM-8016 all-in-one video motherboard features an LGA775 socket for Intel® Core 2 Duo or
Core 2 Quad CPU, Intel GMA 3100 integrated graphics, six SATA II hard drive ports and two DIMMs for
up to 4GB DDR2 memory. It also provides 16 channel audio inputs and onboard audio/video
synchronization, two gigabit LAN ports for high-throughput networking and a PCI-E (x16) expansion slot
for an independent VGA adaptor or an additional Lanner capture card. In addition to onboard H.264
video encoding, audio encoding and audio/video synchronization, the VM-8016 also offers eight alarm
inputs and eight outputs for alarm-trigger and access control, and one RS-485 to support dome cameras
and other physical security devices.

By integrating all of the I/O controller and H.264 chips directly on the motherboard, Lanner has created a
platform that is easy to deploy and even easier to develop full-featured IP video systems on. Additionally,
the VM-8016 addresses long-term support issues by providing a platform built entirely of long life-cycle
parts, ensuring Lanner customers that they will have the support and product availability for long cycle
industrial applications.

The VM-8016 is available for sample orders immediately. For more information, please contact a Lanner
