Solution brings flexible, efficient video analytics to network's edge

    RESTON, Va., July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Cernium Corporation, the leading
 developer of real-time video behavior recognition software, announced today
 the availability of its intelligent video application for digital signal
 processors (DSPs). This solution will allow Cernium's P-Core(TM) video
 analytics engine to be embedded in a wide variety of network "edge"
 devices, from intelligent DVRs to smart cameras.
     Cernium's new offering surpasses the capabilities of current DSP-based
 products by enabling analytics for a complete suite of behaviors
 simultaneously on multiple video inputs. Two channels of analytics are
 supported, concurrent with MPEG-4 compression at D1 resolution on a single
 DSP core. Each channel can be configured to simultaneously report multiple
 behaviors. Available behaviors include various person and vehicle
 activities, left-object detection, intelligent motion detection with
 clutter removal and wrong-way movement.
     "Bringing the power and efficiency of Cernium's intelligent video
 software to edge devices is a significant advance for the industry," said
 Craig Chambers, chief executive officer of Cernium. "With high performance,
 cost- effective analytics available both centrally and at the network edge,
 end users will be able to choose the arrangement that best fits their
 system architecture."
     In February, Cernium announced the first commercial application of the
 P- Core engine for the PoolOptix(TM) pool security system, to be marketed
 by SR Smith of Canby, Ore. Cernium's flagship product is Perceptrak(R), an
 integrated analytics-driven video management solution, currently operating
 in commercial and government facilities throughout North America.
     The new DSP solution is compatible with Texas Instruments' DM 642 and
 DaVinci(TM) processors and is available now for integration with a wide
 variety of video devices.
