Integrated analytics for network cameras and hybrid DVRs from Hikvision provide more functionality and investment protection to video surveillance customers
DALLAS, Nov 20, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
Providing a complete end-to-end solution
for entire video surveillance systems, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology
Co., Ltd. (Hikvision), the leading supplier of digital video surveillance
products, announces it is utilizing digital media processors based on
DaVinci(TM) technology from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN)
for two new video surveillance solutions. The new DS-9000 series hybrid
digital video recorder (DVR) with integrated intelligent video analytics
allows video surveillance customers to integrate flexible Internet
Protocol- (IP) based technology with their current analog systems thus
future-proofing their security investments. Additionally, the new two
megapixel DS-2CD852MF-E network camera with Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides
high-definition IP video ensuring that all details within the camera's field
of view are captured. For more information about Hikvision's products and

"Digital media processors are vital to video surveillance systems as they
are directly related to the video quality and performance of end products, and
TI offers the strongest DSP platforms in the market," said Polo Cai, VP of
international business, Hikvision. "TI's processors offer high performance
capabilities, simplifying the process of applying our own codecs and
applications to the DSP and allowing us to deliver the highest quality
products, and by offering the needed flexibility, we can easily develop a
multitude of solutions."
Hikvision's advanced solutions benefit from the flexibility, performance
and cost efficiencies offered by TI's flagship TMS320C64x+(TM) core as
Hikvision is able to integrate intelligent video analytics capabilities with
advanced digital video codecs, thus improving image quality and providing a
complete end-to-end system to video surveillance customers.
Hikvision's new DS-9000 series hybrid DVR is an embedded product utilizing
TI's TMS320DM647 and TMS320DM648 digital media processors based on the
C64x+(TM) core that seamlessly integrates analog and IP video with significant
networkability and intelligence. The new architecture allows for multichannel
video input encoding, intelligent video analysis and supports quad codec
capabilities including H.264, MPEG-4, MJPEG and AVS. By integrating IP video
solutions with analog based systems, customers benefit from higher video
quality and save on costs while migrating from analog to IP-based systems.
Also based on TI's C64x+ core, TI's TMS320DM6446 digital media processor
is tailored for video encode and decode applications and is capable of
capturing various digital video formats. The DM6446 serves as the primary
processing engine for Hikvision's DS-2CD852MF-E network camera with PoE. This
solution supports color to black and white switches, as well as day and night
auto switches. It provides for dual stream capable two megapixel video
resolution with MPEG-4 and Hikvision's self developed or standard H.264 video
codec. The multiple connection ports, completed network and pan, tilt, zoom
(PTZ) protocols are designed to adapt in various software platforms and offer
customers a flexible solution with a variety of functionalities to meet
evolving market demands.
IP-based surveillance is critical as security professionals require higher
quality video resolutions to remotely monitor and manage their sites.
Programmability and high functionality, including dual streaming, video
analytics and customizable codecs -- which are difficult and cost-prohibitive
to implement -- are now a necessity in this market and made easier with the
use of TI's digital media processors based on DaVinci technology.
"Hikvision is an innovative company with teams of bright engineers that
have maximized the potential of TI's flexible and programmable DaVinci
technology based processors," said Danny Petkevich, video surveillance and
imaging business manager, TI. "By enabling quad codec support, integration of
video analytics and advanced IP capabilities, Hikvision has future-proofed the
investments of their video surveillance customers."
TI is committed to strategically helping companies, like Hikvision,
develop new and innovative surveillance solutions. By listening to customer
needs and taking advantage of their abundant R&D resources, Hikvision is
currently working on developing the next generation of new, innovative
products that will satisfy future market demands for the video surveillance
industry.
