PR Newswire (US)
BEIJING, April 14 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Vimicro
International Corporation (NASDAQ:VIMC), a leading fabless
semiconductor company that designs advanced mixed-signal multimedia
products and solutions, today announced the launch of VC0706, a
digital video processing SoC (System on Chip) for surveillance
cameras. In addition, Vimicro announced its new ePTZ (Electronic
Pan/Tilt/Zoom) surveillance camera reference design featuring a 5-
megapixel CMOS image sensor from Aptina Imaging, a division of
Micron Technology. Capitalizing on its rich experience in video
processing and IC design, Vimicro developed VC0706 and ePTZ
solution to meet the design needs of the fast-growing surveillance
camera market. (Logo:

VC0706 surveillance camera SoC is designed to provide powerful
video capturing and processing functions and enable system
designers to develop rich surveillance applications. Many
surveillance cameras in the current market require a mechanical
motor for pan/tilt/zoom function. With Vimicro's VC0706 SoC,
Aptina's 5-megapixel image sensor(product number MT9P031) and a
wide angle lens, 'motorless' pan/tilt/zoom functions can be quickly
added to the camera design, thus minimizing camera size and power
consumption, and totally eliminating a mechanical maintenance
requirement. 'VC0706 is our latest generation of surveillance
camera SoC, building on the success of VC0702 and VC0703 that have
been widely adopted in the surveillance market. Together with
Aptina Imaging, we developed the VC0706 based ePTZ solution to
satisfy customers' need for lower power consumption, smaller size
and easy maintenance of surveillance cameras,' said Dr. Mike Yu,
Vice President and General Manager of Vimicro's Advanced Multimedia
Product Unit. 'The ePTZ solution will enable our customers to
design innovative surveillance cameras with richer features and
increasingly robust systems.' 'We are excited about the
collaborative effort with Vimicro to enable best-in-class ePTZ
solutions," said Curtis Stith, Director of New Market at Aptina.
'The solution is a direct result of the technology created by
combining Aptina's sensor expertise and Vimicro's advanced digital
image processing technology. Vimicro's VC0706 and its ePTZ
solution, featuring Aptina's MT9P031, 5-megapixel HD image sensor,
are well positioned to deliver the video technology necessary for
capturing details and providing the broad spatial coverage required
by the surveillance industry.' About VC0706 Vimicro's VC0706
surveillance camera SoC (System on Chip) is designed to provide
powerful video capturing and processing functions such as Auto
White Balance (AWB), Auto Exposure (AE), and temporal noise
reduction that automatically enhances video under low-light
environment. VC0706 also integrates a JPEG codec and a motion
detection engine that enable camera designers to optimize video
transferring and storage. VC0706 can deliver high quality digital
video output to an external host via standard CCIR 656 interface or
to a TV display via embedded TV encoder and DAC (Digital-to-Analog
Converter). VC0706 also comes with embedded OSD (On Screen Display)
function, allowing users to overlay information such as date, logo
and text to the video without need for extra OSD ICs. VC0706 can be
configured by external host through high speed UART or SPI
interface. About MT9P031 Image Sensor The MT9P031 showcases
Micron's groundbreaking DigitalClarity technology, which enables
brilliant, high-resolution color images that rival CCD-level image
quality (based on signal-to-noise ratio and low-light sensitivity)
without CCD-level power consumption. The MT9P031 superbly captures
single frames as well as continuous video at up to 15 frames per
second in full resolution or up to 60 frame per second at 720P HD
resolution. About VC0706 ePTZ solution The Vimicro ePTZ solution is
based on Vimicro's surveillance camera SoC VC0706 and the 5 mega
pixel CMOS image sensor MT9P031 from Aptina Imaging to enable
motorless Pan/Tilt/Zoom functionalities. Vimicro's ePTZ solution
can support up to 256X digital zoom and address any portion within
the full view window. The ePTZ can be controlled through a keypad
or a standard PTZ control protocol. The ePTZ solution supports
embedded OSD image overlay function with logo, text, and date. With
the OSD function enabled, the ePTZ solution further delivers a
'private zone' feature. A portion of the view window can be
designated and mosaic-ed as private zone, which automatically
adjusts itself during PTZ. About Vimicro Vimicro International
Corporation is a leading fabless semiconductor company in China
designing, developing and marketing proprietary digital multimedia
signal processing chips and solutions enabling multimedia
applications for mobile phones over 2.5G/3G networks and PCs over
broadband Internet. http://www.vimicro.com/english For more
