HD IP camera reference design

3 February 2010 Design Automation

Texas Instruments announced a new Internet Protocol (IP) camera reference design that provides low-power, high definition (HD) video processing for the video surveillance market.

The DM368IPNC-MT5 IP camera reference design with H.264 main profile 1080p at 30 frames per second (fps) offers high compression in a full HD solution, with the complete camera utilising only three Watts. Based on a new DaVinci video processor, the design provides 30% more host processing performance over the previous generation. This overall performance boost allows the camera to support 720p at 60 fps for multiple video formats including H.264 and MPEG-4, as well as MJPEG at 5 Megapixels (MP) at 15 fps. It also supports multistreaming video processing at various frame rates.

Additionally, the reference design includes a complete Linux application software package to help customers differentiate their end camera. This package includes an image signal processing (ISP) Tuning Tool 1.0, a hardware-accelerated AES encryption module and support for the Physical Security Interoperability Alliance standard for easier adoption and deployment. Software implementations on the ISP provide video stabilisation, face detection, noise filtering, auto white balance, auto focus, auto exposure and edge enhancement, as well as other video processing features for quality enhancements and image improvements.

Global dynamic range enhancement (GDRE) allows users to bring out details in the shadows of the video without washing out the highlights, a critical feature for video surveillance. The GDRE also compensates for the reduced dynamic range often found in lower-cost CMOS sensors, allowing customers to develop a more cost-effective system.
