GainSpan Corporation, in collaboration with OmniVision Technologies and Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), has introduced the GS-ADK-Video+FD-Audio reference design, a low-power, battery-operated reference design capable of streaming high definition (HD) video and two-way, telephony quality audio over Wi-Fi networks, the companies said.
The GS-ADK-Video+FD-Audio platform was developed in response to the rapidly growing IoT market for audio and video streaming products in smart homes, and is designed to help speed up customers´ time-to-market by reducing product development costs and cycle times.
Through this collaboration, customers benefit from each company´s leadership in their respective fields: OmniVision´s low-power video processor solutions; Microsemi´s advanced audio analytics algorithms; and GainSpan´s expertise in low-power, cloud-connected Wi-Fi solutions.
The highly optimized IoT video and audio platform is the trio´s first reference design collaboration, and sets a new standard for real-time, interactive imaging experience in home IoT products such as smart video doorbells, battery-operated cameras and baby monitors.
The platform features OmniVision´s ultra-compact and power-efficient OV788 video processor, Microsemi´s Timberwolfâ„¢ ZL38051 advanced audio processor, and GainSpan´s GS2011M low-power Wi-Fi module. Combined with GainSpan´s embedded streaming software application, the platform delivers crisp 720p (1280×720) HD video at 30 frames per second (FPS) and high quality, two-way audio with acoustic echo cancellation and noise reduction over Wi-Fi networks.
