The HDBaseT camera reference design solution can accept multiple 1080p sensor cameras and transmit uncompressed high definition video over a single 150 meter CAT5e cable to the DVR, as well as power and various controls. As opposed to IP cameras, this camera is simpler, less expensive and provides an excellent image quality with zero latency. It facilitates the implementation of enhanced video analytics in the DVR with best monitoring quality in real time. The architecture simplifies installation and does not require any special configuration or maintenance, and therefore is ideal for analog and PTZ camera replacement or upgrade.
Valens' HDBaseT chipset enables long-reach wired connectivity of uncompressed HD content via a standard single LAN cable. In addition to the security surveillance market, the capability to transmit uncompressed video also adds value in the consumer electronics and professional AV markets. Valens' HDBaseT chipset claims to deliver value to the entire home entertainment ecosystem because it can transmit HDMI audio video content in an uncompressed format too.
The low power, low cost, mid-range LatticeECP3 FPGA device is perfect for multiplexing the video streams and formatting the data to the Valens HDBaseT Tx driver. The LatticeECP3 device has the necessary memory blocks, FPGA logic, SERDES and configurable I/O to implement a variety of applications. The LatticeECP3 device provides manufacturers the flexibility to adapt and format their interfaces to apply the Valens HDBaseT bandwidth capability.
