ActionMedia® II vs. Smart Video Recorder Pro
Comparison

Note: The ActionMedia® II and its related products have been End-of-Lifed (EOL) by Intel. Please see the Actionmedia® II End Of Life Letter and the Actionmedia® II Resource List for further support information.

The ActionMedia® II Delivery Board and Capture Module were primarily intended for use in applications requiring high-quality, full-screen video running under a variety of operating systems and supporting a wide range of accelerated video algorithms.

The Intel® Smart Video Recorder brings cost-effective video to the business and consumer desktop PC, allowing users to create effective multimedia presentations. Also, the Intel® Smart Video Recorder Pro is designed for software only playback, eliminating the need for additional hardware onboard for acceleration.
