Axis Communications announces the next generation of its market-leading system-on-chip for network video cameras and video encoders. The new ARTPEC-5 is based on dual core multiprocessor architecture, features a larger cache size and higher memory throughput. More processing power and performance provide increased capabilities for intelligent video processing and video analytics applications.
The new ARTPEC-5 chip features support for the H.264 High Profile (HiP) video compression standard and high frame rate (60 fps) encoding in full HDTV resolution (1080p). This resembles twice the frame rate and resolution offered by conventional HDTV video surveillance solutions today. High frame rates allow for capturing quick movements in detail, such as when license plates of fast moving vehicles need to be identified. With full HDTV resolution, large overview areas can be monitored without compromises on image detail as will be required when an incident occurs.
