Santa Clara, Calif., May 11, 2009 - VIVOTEK, a leading network video surveillance manufacturer, has adopted Nethra's image processor for its latest generation progressive scan CCD cameras, IP7153/7154 and IP7253, to achieve premium video quality in surveillance applications.
"We chose Nethra's processing chip for its ease of integration and its range of video feature set that fits our latest camera technology," said William Ku, director of product marketing for VIVOTEK. "Additionally, its low-light processing capability enables our cameras to deliver video with low noise and clear details, which is essential in a surveillance camera."
The NI-9065 is part of Nethra's family of image processors designed for compact video processing devices. The device offers a scalable, programmable processing engine with high performance at low power, which is necessary for network surveillance cameras. The NI-9065 features Nethra's hardware-based image processing pipeline that operates up to 75 million pixels per second. Among a number of advanced video functions, it delivers high frame rate video capability along with high quality smooth scaling performance.
"We are pleased that the NI-9065's rich video processing features fit VIVOTEK's requirements to deliver superior video quality to the surveillance market," said Leigh Anderson, Nethra's director of business development. "We look forward to continuing the partnership and believe that our product roadmap is well aligned to support future joint product development efforts."
