Solutions for Video Surveillance Systems

   
 
Pericom continually expands its broad array of PCI bridge, PCIe bridges, PCIe Packet Switches, Video Switches, clock IC's, and frequency control solutions for the emerging surveillance applications.
Video Surveillance
 

Pericom offers the following solutions for both PC-based and embedded video surveillance systems:

  1. Total Timing Solutions
    1. Clock IC
    2. Frequency Control
  2. Video Switch
  3. PCI and PCI Express Bridges and Switches
  4. Go to all PCI Express Products
1) Total Timing Solutions [ back to top ] [ see parts for PC ] [ see parts for Embedded ]

With the SaRonix-eCera product line, Pericom offers a total timing and frequency control solution for video surveillance systems that include crystals, clock generators, and oscillators:

  • PI6Cxx Clock ICs
  • SaRonix-eCera 49S series crystals
  • S161X series crystal clock oscillators (XO)

Pericom provides several video switch solutions to reduce the number of video decoders needed for multiple video sources. This saves in both cost and board space.
  • Switch between video sources to video decoders
  • RGB, S-Video, or composite video signals inputs
  • Single-ended 3V and 5V devices
     

Pericom's Connectivity family includes enhanced PCI-to-PCI, PCI-X-to-PCI-X, PCIe-to-PCI, and PCIe-to-PCI-X bridges. Also included are PCIe packet switches. All of these devices provide PCI, PCI-X, and/or PCIe port expansion for I/O intensive applications. These devices allow surveillance systems to expand and accept multiple video sources.

    • Permits more devices or "loads" to be added to the system
    • Allows for more slots for adapter cards in a system
    • Allows for multiple devices on a line card or add-in card

 

PC Based Applications [ back to top ]

The video capture add-in card (with desktop PC based on standard Windows OS) is widely used as a control center for surveillance applications. The video sources are captured with video decoders from vendors such as Conexant, Alogics, and Philips among others. All video frame displays and compression/decompression algorithms are performed by x86 CPUs or MPEG2 chips inside the PC. In addition to offering desktop and notebook PC solutions, like LAN, video, analog and USB switches, Pericom offers an array of products for current generation and next generation PC-based surveillance systems for increased capabilities and reliabilities.

     
    Video Decoders with Hardware and Software Compression/Decompression Block Diagram using the PCI Bridge

For high-end surveillance systems, Industrial PCs (IPC) are widely used as the console for security and display management. To support more loads, one CPU (with chipset) board with either a PCIe or PCI-based backplane is a common platform to support more PCIe or PCI devices. At least one extra PCI-to-PCI bridge, PCIe-to-PCI bridge, or PCIe packet switch is needed on board in this application. The diagram below shows the architecture of a PCI-based backplane.

  • Provides crystal clock oscillator for video decoders on Conexant 25878 platform
  • Provides crystal clock oscillator s for Alogics platform
Embedded Application [ back to top ]

Another architecture for a surveillance system is an RISC-based CPU such as ARM or MIPS, and hardware engines like DSP or ASIC for handling the video capture function and compression/decompression algorithms. ARM, MIPS, Philip's Tri-Media media processor, and TI's DSP are popular examples in this market.
