Analyze with dPict

A high performance video analytics PCI board the Aexeon Analytix from dPict is perfect for security applications or any industrial imaging application that uses video analytics. What is video analytics you ask?

Video analytics is a technology that is used to analyze video for specific data, behavior, objects or attitude. It has a wide range of applications including safety and security. The software algorithms run on processors inside a computer or on an embedded computer platform in video cameras, recording devices, or specialized video processing units. Video analytics algorithms together are integrated with video and called Intelligent Video Software systems that run on standard off-the-shelf computers or embedded into small chips called digital signal processors (DSPs) that run in IP cameras or encoders. The technology can evaluate the contents of video to determine specified information about the content of that video.

For an example if used in a security application it can count every fifth person to pass by it. Used in another application it can be liked to an automation process and pull out items with defects. If the camera you are using is to perform tasks like this it will need a analytics card to process all of this information coming in and the Aexeon Analytix PCI board is the one for the job.

The aexeon analytix is unique  product that adds video analytics onto DVR’s. The analytics card comes in two forms the 200 and 800. The analytixs 800 features four Texas Instruments DM642 processors allowing this card to perform all of the video processing on board.

Other features include:

  • PCI add-in card
  • Real-time video capture and processing
  • Easy integrates into new or existing DVRs
  • Up to four Texas Instruments DM642 Digital Media Processors
  • Up to eight channels of video processing for video analytics applications
  • No host processor usage
