Norwood, MA (PRWEB) April 1, 2009
With leading camera developers worldwide already designing its Blackfin processor into surveillance and machine vision cameras, Analog Devices (ADI) announced the availability of IntelliVision’s video analytics and intelligence solutions for Blackfin. IntelliVision’s video analytics solutions are used extensively in automated monitoring, surveillance and security solutions to identify and react to suspicious activities without the need for operator intervention. The combination of these two technologies enables engineers to develop intelligent cameras based on proven and mature software modules that are cost effective and optimized for Blackfin. The processor has become a popular choice for camera makers who need high performance video processing, compression and streaming along with low power consumption and easy design.
“Leading camera developers worldwide are designing Blackfin into surveillance and machine vision cameras because of its high performance video processing, compression and streaming capabilities,” said Vaidhi Nathan, President of IntelliVision. Running IntelliVision’s intelligence products on Blackfin allows manufacturers to deliver higher value video analytics products, with more features in a short period of time.”
IntelliVision will begin shipping its Blackfin-based Intelligent Video modules immediately. Modules initially available include: Intrusion Detection, Video Counter, Object Left Detector, Asset Protector, and Camera Tamper Detection. Additional modules will be available over the course of the calendar year.
“The use of automated video surveillance is poised to grow rapidly as users take advantage of low-cost IP networks to implement distributed intelligent systems to secure assets and people,” said Michael Long, Product Line Manager for Industrial Video and Imaging Solutions, Analog Devices General Purpose DSP Division. “Blackfin processors allow camera designers to address the needs of the video analytics market because of the device’s performance, scalability and low power operation –which simplifies camera design and deployment.”
A Convergent Future Demands Blackfin-Class Processing
Analog Devices’ Blackfin embodies a new breed of 16/32-bit embedded processors with the industry’s highest performance and power efficiency for applications where a convergence of capabilities – multi-format audio, video, voice and image processing; multi-mode baseband and packet processing; and real-time security and control processing – is critical. It is this powerful combination of software flexibility and scalability that has gained Blackfin widespread adoption in convergent applications such as digital home entertainment, networked and streaming media, automotive telematics and infotainment, and digital radio and mobile TV.
