GEO Semiconductor (GEO) has announced introduction of the GC6500 family of highly-integrated programmable video processors.
The GC6500 integrates GEO's patented eWARPÂ core, MIPI D-PHY Input, Audiophile quality stereo recording path, low-latency highly flexible H.264 Codec, Tensilica XTENSA HIFI CPU and USB2.0 interfaces. Integrated DCDC converters and LDOs provide all system voltages for unprecedented integration.
Paul Russo, CEO, GEO Semiconductor, stated, " The programmability of the GC6500 provides customers ultimate flexibility and offers H.264 video compression, WDR ISP support in a highly integrated low-power IC to enable emerging camera markets. GEO has developed complete software stacks, including iOS and Android applications, to provide superior hardware and software support to its customers and shorten their time to market."
The GC6500 performs video enhancement, noise reduction, and geometric processing on video captured from sensors at rates up to 5 mega pixels at 30 frames per second. The GC6500 enables multi-streaming protocols that deliver the highest quality output by adapting resolution and frame rate to network bandwidth. It integrates an Apical ISP with High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology.
A single 3.3V supply to GC6500 is used to generate other voltages needed for internal circuits as well as for DDR2/LPDDR2/DDR3 DRAM, microphones and most camera sensors.
The GC6500 and reference designs are available now to qualified customers.
