Variety and Complexity of Video Standards and Interfaces
&
Fast Time-to-Market
Off-the-shelf VSoM
as a
“Short-cut” for video based embedded systems developers
focusing on their application
The Need for VSoM
VSoM Definition
Single board based on SoC with memory, interfaces and features with strong
affinity to video technologies required for embedded computer
Lacks standard I/O peripherals connectors
Dense package used in small and specialized applications requiring low power
Standalone board, which breaks the I/O signals out via board-to-board or board-
to-cable connectors
Used as a carrier to a rich and varied world of video interfaces and other I/O
peripherals via add-on modules or panel mounted standard peripheral
connectors
BSP and Linux/Android OS
Advanced Ultimate Digital Video Platform (“UDVP”) API
