introduces a low-power, battery-operated video doorbell reference design
capable of streaming high definition (HD) video and two-way, telephony
quality audio over Wi-Fi networks. Developed in response to the rapidly
growing IoT market for video/audio streaming products in the home, the
reference design platform speeds time to market and reduces product
development cost and cycle times for Original Equipment Manufacturers
(OEMs). Through this partnership, customers benefit from the leadership
each company has shown in its respective field: GEO Semiconductor’s low
power, highly integrated video encoder solutions, ON Semiconductor’s
leading image sensor solutions and GainSpan’s expertise in low-power,
cloud-connected Wi-Fi solutions.
The solution features GEO’s power-efficient MAX64380 video compression
chip and ON Semiconductor’s AR0330 CMOS image sensor integrated with
GainSpan’s GS2011M low power, Wi-Fi module on a small printed circuit
board. The GainSpan GS2011M serves as the system host controller,
running embedded streaming protocols and application software, also
developed by GainSpan. The platform delivers crisp 1080p (1920x1080) HD
video at 30 frames per second and utilizes the MAX64380’s internal audio
processing features to deliver high quality, full duplex voice audio
with on-board acoustic echo cancellation and noise reduction. The
platform is an ideal, low power and cost-effective reference design for
internet-connected video doorbell and smart camera products. The
platform’s wireless connectivity features and software enable video and
audio streaming directly to smartphones that use either iOS or Android
operating systems or through cloud connections. The solution comprises
hardware and software needed for engineers to quickly and simply add
video and audio streaming capabilities into their IoT-based product
designs, thereby reducing development costs and accelerating time to
market. The GS-ADK-Video+FD Audio-1080p ADK is accompanied by a complete
software suite, plus a series of sophisticated mobile Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs) and mobile demo applications for Android
and iOS devices. The ADK is available through GainSpan and its
distributors.
"GEO Semiconductor is pleased to partner with GainSpan and ON
Semiconductor to create system solutions that meet customer needs for
emerging markets where low power, high quality video and 2 way audio
communications are key requirements. GEO believes the rich feature set
of this joint design will exceed customer expectations and fill a void
in the IoT marketplace," says Ronald Allard, Vice President Worldwide
Sales at GEO Semiconductor Inc.
Central to this solution is ON Semiconductor’s AR0330
1/3-Inch optical format CMOS image sensor, which delivers superior
imaging quality in low light conditions. Using its 2304 x 1296
active-pixel array, this device has the capacity to capture 3 megapixel
(MP) still images. It also incorporates advanced on-chip camera
features, such as column/row subsampling, windowing, mirroring and
snapshot modes.
“This cooperative agreement with GainSpan and GEO Semiconductor, and the
products that will be derived from it, will have considerable positive
impact on the IoT sector. The attributes that each company brings to the
partnership complement each other perfectly,” states Radhika Arora, IoT
Product Line Manager, Automotive Imaging and Scanning Division at ON
Semiconductor. “This allows us to fully capitalize upon the
possibilities for video-enabled IoT implementations, in home automation,
security, smart lighting, building access and infant monitoring systems.”
“By expanding our partnership with GEO Semiconductor and ON
Semiconductor we are providing customers with a truly cost-effective,
low-power wireless video and 2-way audio platform,” says Richard
Najarian, GainSpan senior director, solutions marketing. “Product
manufacturers can leverage the system and software integration
advantages of the platform to greatly speed up development of their IoT
video and audio-based offerings.”
