Mango DSP releases an intelligent IP camera reference design based on TI's DaVinci technology

Jerusalem, Israel

Mango DSP, a provider of advanced video solutions for the video surveillance , homeland security and defense markets, announces the launch of the Pegasus embedded reference design, an intelligent video server (IVS) developed by Mango DSP and based on Texas Instruments Incorporated's DaVinci technology. Mango's new solution is comprised of the Pegasus video server and IVS software and is designed to deliver a comprehensive solution for the unique requirements of the homeland security market.

Pegasus spawns innovation with its open API - the analytic hooks of IVS software for DaVinci technology. The software enables fast and simple integration with video content analysis providers, making the Pegasus a common video analytic platform for camera manufacturers. Mango has applied for a pending patent on its IVS software for DaVinci technology. The Pegasus is equipped with a variety of Micron CMOS sensors from 2 - 5 Mega Pixel and is packaged in a very small form factor enabling integration to large variety of cameras.

Both TI and Micron technologies consider the Pegasus a technological breakthrough in the security and homeland security markets. The Pegasus board is Mango DSP's next generation video processing board based on the latest TI Davinci technology. The Pegasus board benefits from the combination of an ARM processor core and the TMS320C64x+ digital signal processor (DSP) core in DaVinci processors, as well Microns advanced 3.1 Megapixel CMOS sensors with its high quality video capabilities.

"Together TI and Mango DSP are revolutionizing the security market by offering simple and fast intelligent video servers for camera manufacturers," says Cyril Clocher, DSP business development manager EMEA, TI. "The Pegasus board combines many cutting edge technologies onto one compact, easy to integrate, comprehensive solution."

"We are pleased to work with Mango on its intelligent video application, enabling a truly cutting-edge video tracking and face recognition camera system" says Rene Hartner, senior marketing segment manager for Micron's image surveillance segment. "There were two critical imaging requirements that Mango took into consideration when choosing their image sensor partner. Mango selected Micron based on our expertise in high sensitivity and high frame rates, which are important for capturing clear, real-time video in changing lighting conditions."

With a complete portfolio of image sensors designed for the security market, Micron is providing manufacturers with the option to choose the best sensor that matches their design needs, whether for a consumer or a commercial camera application. Micron's CMOS-based security image sensors are easy to design-in and deliver exceptional imaging performance in low light situations with both near-IR and visible sub-lux (equivalent to the light from one candle) imaging capability. Additionally, by leveraging its legacy in high-speed sensor techniques, Micron's portfolio of security image sensors provide extraordinarily high sensitivity and high frame rates, important for capturing clear, real-time video.
