Axis introduces Its New Chip Artpec-4
Axis Communications has introduced its new chip - ARTPEC-4. It is designed to offer video with lower noise and higher light sensitivity for sharper images of moving objects. The chip is a key enabler of Axis' Light finder technology, which allows cameras to 'see' clearly in dark and low-light conditions.
In this latest chip, Axis has further improved H.264 compression. ARTPEC-4 supports simultaneous H.264 and Motion JPEG streams, and the built-in multiple streaming means that video streams can be optimized individually. With a powerful CPU and a coprocessor for accelerating video analytics, ARTPEC-4 also boasts more processing power for intelligent video analysis. This is in particular beneficial for analytics applications running on the AXIS Camera Application Platform for scalable, distributed analytics in video surveillance.
ARTPEC-4 offers improved de-interlacing and multi-channel video ports on one chip, it lowers the cost per port for video encoders and enables more affordable, multi-channel video encoder products.
"The development of ARTPEC-4 underlines the importance of our in-house development in cementing our leadership in the technology field. With our newest chip, we see improved image quality leading to more usable video surveillance systems, broadening the usage of Axis cameras in more applications and extending the scope of where they can be used," said JohanPaulsson, CTO, Axis Communications.
