Encoder/Decoder Series

The lvm3000 is an industrial-grade video-edgedevice designed for critical defense and technology applications. It provides a compact encoding and decoding solution that delivers ultra low latency high quality video at optimized bandwidth utilization. Ideal for vision-guided manned and unmanned systems as well as intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance systems, the ioibox lvm3000 units make the most of available bandwidth for real-time video streaming. Its small size, easy plug-and-play installation, unrivaled low latency and bandwidth optimization, as well as its comprehensive API, make it ideal for integration with systems such as homeland security, military, defense, police, fire, hazmat, communication, and commercial automation.

highlights

• Ultra low-latency transmission with an industry leading end-to-end throughput of less than 50ms, reducing delivery and reaction times for remote real-time observation, navigation, and control
• Edge-device (hardware) or software-based decoding solution - MPEG4 SP based compression, embedded video encoding/decoding (4CIF resolution) and full duplex audio and data streaming
• Exceptional video quality supports both narrow and broad links (from 64Kbps to 6 Mbps) within constant bitrate requirements
• Audio compression standard – ADPCM (G.729) – 32 Kbps
• Integrated storage for recording – built in 16Gb flash memory for video storage that provides flexibility when link conditions and network connections are unavailable or not optimal
• API provides flexible integration and dynamic setting control
• Powerful video preprocessing provides picture quality improvement
• Offers optional built-in video analytics for automated security and safety applications
• Minimal footprint with compact size, low power consumption, and lightweight design

features

• Adjustable bitrate, frame rate (real time), and resolution for optimal quality of service, from 64Kbps to 6 Mbps
• Highest quality images and video for constant-bit-rate (CBR)
• Includes control for maintaining packet transmission size to maximize the bandwidth utilization
• Image processing filters include region-of-interest filter and linear histogram filter for economizing image-data transmission
• Plug inline video edge-device – integrates effortlessly with existing equipment
• Non-PC based edge-device encoding or decoding - no custom hardware modifications needed
• Designed for easy upgrade and integration with future video codecs
• Flexible settings for management, link conditions, node communication, and integrated control via the compression software or API - offers a well-rounded solution above and beyond the core codec
• Combined video, audio, and overlay streaming from a single unit
• Supports configuration locally or from remote – ideal for in-the-field deployment
• Powerful video pre and post processing algorithms
• Separate control over session setup for video, audio and overlay
• Includes additional error resilience, as well as controllable skip frames and refresh rates
• Supports synchronous/asynchronous interlacing (internal or external clock)

Applications

• Critical enabling technology for modern real-time communication systems that require low latency and low bandwidth consumption
• Reduces reaction times for remote real-time military field-operations, machinery commanding, device operation, robotics, etc.
• Critical infrastructure protection (CIP) and remote site monitoring such as homeland security, public safety grids, pipelines, utilities, transportation, and borders
• Maximizes bitrate and quality for more useable images within CBR/VBR streaming requirements, such as those of wireless networks or high-volume command centers
• Accelerates delivery for analyzing rapid motion on highspeed navigation applications (milliseconds critical) such as vision guided drones, missiles, and ordinances
• Helps achieve timing precision in long range camera pan/tilt/zoom movement on a magnified surveillance view
• Provides unmanned vehicle wireless control-systems with time sensitive data and video link delivery (UAV,UMV, ROV, AUV, UGV, UNV, mobile robots, etc.)
