Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished applications, today announced that it will demonstrate a variety of advanced smart camera and intelligent video security and surveillance devices in its booth (#3117) at the American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS) International 2002 show in Philadelphia, Sept. 10-13. The demonstrations with DynaPel, IQinVision, Reality Commerce Corp. and VCON will showcase applications based on Equator's flexible Broadband Signal Processor (BSP BSP Bromsulphalein, a dye used in the study of liver function. See also sulfobromophthalein clearance test. (TM)) family of chips and will highlight motion tracking, camera steadying and face recognition, which are all for smart camera devices, as well as digital video recording and conferencing for storing and communicating video surveillance information.

For example, the group (word) might contain four instructions, and the compiler ensures that those four instructions are not dependent on each core that delivers up to 40 billion operations per second. The powerful chip is optimized for video processing Video processing techniques are used in video codecs, video players and other devices. For example—commonly only design and video processing is different in TV sets of different manufactures. and is designed to simultaneously compute numerous complex algorithms necessary for a variety of civilian and government intelligent video surveillance installations. Additionally, the BSP family of chips provides the industry's highest performance at the lowest bit rates, allowing many applications and video streams from multiple cameras to run on a single chip. At this level, Equator offers a price performance that is at least three times that of its competitors, without sacrificing the detailed video quality essential to surveillance effectiveness.

We are pleased to demonstrate how we are working with our partners and customers by providing intelligent security and surveillance devices that are adaptable to suit a broad range of installation requirements." Equator's fully software-programmable architecture extends a product's life cycle through software upgrades, while also enabling product customization and differentiation. To illustrate the versatility of Equator's powerful platform, the company will be demonstrating a number of smart camera and video surveillance solutions at its ASIS booth (#3117), including: DynaPel Demonstration Together with DynaPel, Equator will showcase steady and tracker applications that combine the performance power of Equator's BSP-15 processor with advanced security CCTV CCTV abbr. closed-circuit television CCTV closed-circuit television . The steady software provides real-time stabilization of shaky video surveillance video. The tracker software allows unattended security CCTV cameras to follow moving objects. IQinVision Demonstration IQinVision and Equator will demonstrate IQinVision's smart camera platform. This camera relies on the superior video compression capabilities and software programmability of Equator's BSP family of chips to support a variety of complex, video-intense applications such as facial recognition, image correction and video content analysis. The IQeye4 is an intelligent imaging system, combining unsurpassed image quality and high resolution with ease of installation, management, security and programmability, making it ideal for network-based surveillance and monitoring applications. Reality Commerce Corp. (RCC RCC - An extensible language. ) Demonstration Reality Commerce Corp. and Equator will demonstrate their real-time 4CIF (1) (Common Intermediate Format) A standard video format used in videoconferencing. CIF formats are defined by their resolution, and standards both above and below the original resolution have been established. The original CIF is also known as Full CIF (FCIF). 30-frames-per-second MPEG-4 encoder running on the Equator BSP-15 processor. The compressed bit rate can be changed on the fly during the encoding process to meet the compression requirements for a variety of applications. VCON Demonstration Equator will demonstrate VCON's advanced video over IP software on the Equator's Tetra platform. VCON's video over IP software includes ITU-T See ITU. ITU-T - International Telecommunications Union H.263+ video compression and decompression, H.323 network protocol stack and G.711 audio compression and decompression, a basis for IP-based video security and surveillance.
