Bi-i™ V401X Video Analytics Module



Stand-alone Reference Design for Multi-core Video Analytics Engine (MVE™)

The Bi-i™ V401X Video Analytics Module implements Eutecus’ Multi-core Video Analytics Engine (MVE™) on a small form factor PCB reference design for rapid implementation in IP camera designs and other edge devices or as a stand-alone video analytics device. MVE™ is an easily configurable, compact, high-performance processing architecture that can be used to implement complete video analytics solutions in a single FPGA.

 

MVE™-enabled devices (intelligent cameras, DVRs and other edge devices) can detect multiple events in parallel (e.g. forbidden zone, lost/abandoned object, loitering, wrong direction in traffic, illegal lane change, etc.) in video streams of up to HD 720p image resolution at 30 frames per second.

Bi-i™ V401X is the first implementation of MVE™ ready for immediate deployment in existing commercial camera designs. It is ideal for manufacturers interested in offering embedded Video Analytics capabilities, or who wish to improve their existing Video Analytics solutions.

Camera manufacturers who implement the Bi-i™ V401X into their camera design will benefit from the power of a robust image processing capability hard-coded into their systems combined with the flexibility of a fully programmable application development environment.

The system is available for stand-alone testing or for rapid integration with other modules via a choice of standard connectors. For application development, the system integrator can simply control the MVE™ from a C++ environment through the system API, or utilize Eutecus’ ready-made MVE™ Evaluation Kit 3.0, which requires only configuration through a simple GUI, no programming, to show a wide variety of typical video analytics functions for demonstration purposes.

The design includes the Xilinx Spartan-3A DSP 3400A™ FPGA chip, SDRAM and Flash memory for application programming and storage. Space remains on the FPGA for additional processing requirements such as compression and encoding.

Please contact Eutecus, Inc. about ordering the Bi-i™ V401X for evaluation and to discuss implementation and licensing.
