Automotive Mobile Audio Video

With adjustable data rate from 1-30 fps, VIP X Series features MPEG-4 video and integrates with analog products and networks. VIP X1 offers full motion video for single camera, while VIP X2 works with 2 cameras and features alarm inputs, relay outputs, and PTZ control. VIP XD converts digital video up to 30 fps at true 4 CIF/full D1 and has built-in quad output to simultaneously view 4 IP cameras. Series enables video and audio streaming, recording, playback, and archiving.

Fairport, New York, March 2005 -- Bosch Security Systems, a leading manufacturer of high-quality security systems and components, has expanded its family of IP network video products. The VIP X Series of video encoders and decoders offers DVD-quality real-time video that requires less than half the storage space of earlier models. These products are ideal for a wide range of security applications where the highest quality video is needed despite bandwidth and storage limitations. These include highway management, transportation, correctional facilities, casinos, government, university and business campuses and large retail stores.

By increasing the maximum data rate of the VIP X Series to 30 frames/second, its MPEG-4 video offers virtually the same quality as the more expensive MPEG-2 video yet requires less than half the bandwidth, reducing data storage needs and overall system costs. Users also have their choice of different frame rates, ranging from one to 30, to optimize bandwidth and storage space.

The VIP X Series is part of a complete line of IP network video products for video and audio streaming, recording, playback and archiving. Each product integrates seamlessly with existing analog products and networks. Compared to converting to all digital products, this offers users substantial cost savings by preserving their existing investments. Bosch's IP products can also be used to build complex digital networks or migrate from analog to digital one piece at a time, based on the user's needs.

Based on ARM11(TM) platform, Models i.MX31 and i.MX31L deploy Independent Platform Security Architecture, which combines hardware and software security features. Smart Speed(TM) technology, with effective cycles per instruction (eCPI), enables 532 MHz processors to utilize parallelism to operate at equivalent performance of 3 GHz processor, while minimizing power consumption. On-chip image processing unit delivers up to VGA 30 fps video quality.

Consumers to enjoy longer playtime for power-hungry handhelds

AUSTIN, TX June 7, 2005 - Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE:FSL, FSL.B) unveiled the i.MX31 and i.MX31L high performance multimedia processors, designed to deliver a rich and long lasting mobile entertainment experience. Based on the ARM11(TM) platform and enhanced with Freescale's Smart Speed(TM) technology, the i.MX31 and i.MX31L processors maximize the effective cycles per instruction (eCPI) to create a new benchmark for power-performance mobile entertainment solutions.

OEMs seeking to capitalize on the burgeoning multi-billion dollar mobile entertainment market look for a multimedia processor that can handle intense, power-hungry applications. The processor must also protect high value mobile entertainment content. Consumers demand choices in affordable devices with more complex and sophisticated handheld games, and want to enjoy digital audio and mobile videos on-the-go without fear of the batteries dying too quickly. The i.MX31 processors offer the features for these and other mobile entertainment experiences.

Smart Speed technology with eCPI makes it possible for the efficient 532 MHz i.MX31 applications processors to take advantage of parallelism to operate at the equivalent performance of a 3 GHz processor, yet minimize power consumption. The lower the eCPI, the less demanding an application is on the CPU and the batteries; giving consumers the freedom to enjoy mobile multimedia entertainment like streaming video and interactive 3D gaming for hours far away from an alternate power source.
