Delivers the First Single-Chip Solution to Offer Eight Simultaneous Channels of Full Standard Definition Video Encoding LAS VEGAS Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. -- Stream Processors, Inc. (SPI), a fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. that is making parallel processing parallel processing, the concurrent or simultaneous execution of two or more parts of a single computer program, at speeds far exceeding those of a conventional computer. simple, today announced its plans to drive a new wave of innovation within the IP video surveillance market with a comprehensive family of digital signal processors (DSPs), ranging from a high-performance solution capable of eight simultaneous channels of full standard definition video encoding, to a single-chip IP cameras solution. "As a company offering fully software programmable DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive solutions it is critical for us to focus on high-volume market opportunities where we can offer disruptive technology A new technology that has a serious impact on the status quo and changes the way people have been dealing with something, perhaps for decades. Music CDs all but wiped out the phonograph industry within a few years, and digital cameras are destined to eliminate the film industry. industry advancements," said Chip Stearns, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of SPI. "Our Stream Processor Architecture([TM])is a perfect fit for demanding new applications such as IP Video Surveillance and we are already seeing traction in the market SPI intends to be the leading provider of solutions for this exciting and evolving market." IP Video Surveillance Market Opportunity According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. a recent report entitled IP/Networked Video Surveillance: Markets & Technology issued by market-research firm iSuppli Corp., the growth in video surveillance will open a vast array of opportunities for associated semi-conductors. iSuppli projects the market for surveillance-camera chips will hit $1.25 billion in 2011, more than double the $525 million in 2006. The report goes on to suggest that "the IP camera segment is the biggest opportunity for semiconductor suppliers because it will grow from a relatively small segment to become the dominant technology in five years. A major shift in semiconductor revenue likely will be propelled by this trend to IP cameras." Storm-1: A New Class of DSPs Based on the company's breakthrough SPI Stream Processor Architecture, the Storm-1 family is suitable for a wide range of demanding signal processing See DSP. applications, such as high-definition video H.264 encoding, transcoding, analytics, image processing and video surveillance with processing headroom for customer-specific enhancements. The Storm-1 family currently consists of the following devices: * Storm-1 SP16-G160 - A high-performance programmable DSP with 160 GOPS (Giga [billion] Operations Per Second) The measurement of instructional performance of a chip or system. It typically refers to DSP operations. See MOPS. (billion operations per second), the SP16 enables the simultaneously encoding and interfacing of up to eight channels of H.264 Standard Definition video at costs approaching less than $10.00 per channel. * Storm-1 SP8-G80 - Targeted signal processing, video, and imaging applications that don't require the cutting edge performance of the SP16, the SP8 delivers significant cost/performance advantages at 80 GOPS. * Storm-1 SP8LP-G30 - Designed for power and price sensitive applications such as IP cameras that need the flexibility of software programmability, the SP8LP offers a System-on-Chip solution with low cost per operation at less than $2.00 per GMAC GMAC General Motors Acceptance Corporation GMAC Graduate Management Admission Council GMAC Give Me A Call GMAC Genetic Manipulation Advisory Committee GMAC Genetic Modification Advisory Committee (Singapore) GMAC Give Me A Chance .
