Video surveillance systems are currently undergoing a transition where more and more analog solutions are being replaced by digital. Digital technology enables audio/video data compression that minimizes transmission bandwidth and storage requirements and permits security cameras to operate on standard data networks without the expense of bulky coaxial cables. To enable this changeover, the new Video Security over Internet Protocol (VSIP) Development Platform has been created to help developers build intelligent security cameras that take advantage of a digital IP network by leveraging the real-time performance and flexibility inherent in DSP technology.

Key Benefits:

• Complete hardware and software platform to develop video security applications
• Programmability for highly differentiated, leading-edge features
• Easy-to-use, open development environment for rapid time to market
• Simple development environment to ease transition from analog to digital
• High-compression ratio for storage of high-resolution images
• Design flexibility for development of multiple products at different price points
• Low cost entry into the digital market

VSIP Development Platform

The comprehensive, open platform simplifies development of intelligent network video cameras with all the hardware, software and support needed to get to market quickly. It includes:

• TMS320DM642 digital media processor based development board including relevant peripherals and accessories
• Embedded software including audio/video compression libraries, application-oriented algorithms and application sample in source code
• PC supervision application including decode, and a control embedded platform
• Complete set of documentation including a users’ manual and developers documentation
• Comprehensive development environment including DSP development environment, programmable logic development environment and emulator for DSP

With the flexibility of a programmable DSP solution, developers can change compression standards, add specific processing capabilities and develop different products on the same hardware platform – enabling a wide range of products and creating a future proof system. Customization of your video surveillance system could include:

• Video Indexing
• Biometrics
• Faces
• Iris/Retinal
• Alarm Management
• Image Storage
• Privacy Zone Management
