Enabling HD IP Security Cameras for Networked Surveillance (NXP^® at Security China 2012)

Rick Dumont, NXP^® Semiconductors, provides an overview of the new Advanced ASC884xA and ASC885xA series of single-chip video processors for HD IP security cameras. These devices integrate virtually all functions required for an IP camera design -- from raw image sensor data input, image signal processing (ISP), and H.264 compression, to secure encrypted transmission over the network through a Gigabit Ethernet interface. Capturing as many as 60 frames per second at Full HD resolution (1080p/60), the new Advanced series supports H.264 High Profile encoding while consuming less than 1.5 W of power, achieving the best power efficiency and lowest bit rate compared to other solutions on the market today. Further, the ASC884xA and ASC885xA devices enable extremely clear video images through advanced ISP features such as very flexible spatial and temporal (2D/3D) noise reduction for excellent low-light performance -- critical for security cameras operating under a wide range of lighting conditions -- as well as programmable edge enhancement. http://www.nxp.com/news/press-releases/2012/12/nxp-brings-ip-security-cameras-into-higher-definition.html http://www.nxp.com/products/identification_and_security/security_and_surveillance_ip_camera/series/ASC884X_5XA_SERIES.html
