Meeting the needs of video security developers
TI's video SoC provides customers with superior low-light performance at 2X the nearest competitor. A video SoC-based IP camera has the capability to produce clear images in low-light environments such as parking garages or dark alleys, enabling the user to capture a license plate, a person's face and other features that may help authorities solve a crime. The camera can compress and transmit these noise filtered and dynamic range-enhanced videos in real time in a H.264/SVC format.
Easing development with tools and software
TI's scalable video SoC provides surveillance manufacturers with an ecosystem of tools and software, accelerating time to market. The DM369 IP camera reference design includes schematics, layout and BOM to help customers re-use their investment in TI's video processors. ONVIF-compliant, the camera reference design also makes it easy for customers to integrate their cameras with NVR and VMS systems. Customers can also choose from TI's ecosystem of sensor modules based on the market's most popular sensors when designing their solution and taking it to market. “TI's video processors continue to be the go-to solution for surveillance product manufacturers,” said Jacob Jose, IP Camera Product Marketing Manager, TI.
Pricing and availability
TI's DaVinci camera reference design is currently available for US$995. Samples of TI's DaVinci DM369 video SoC will be available at the end of April. Additionally, pricing for the video SoC can be found by contacting local TI or distributor sales representative.
