Reference designs simplify in-car infotainment

AverLogic Technologies Corp offers a range of reference designs that address the in-car infotainment markets.

In-car infotainment applications such as car digital video recorders and mobile video surveillance systems will see rapid growth over the coming years.

To address this demand, AverLogic Technologies Corp offers a range of reference designs that address the in-car infotainment markets.

Based on the company's AL37219 or AL37204 surveillance controllers, these reference designs offer manipulation and display of multiple video sources to aid secure and safe viewing on the move.

Differing from the typical acoustic parking assist system, AverLogic's "Parking aids for in-car DVR application" reference design helps the car and systems manufacturers use the advantage of parking aids with visual warning function.

Says Kyle Chang, CEO of AverLogic Technologies: "the traditional sonar radar indicates the distance by different tone pulse or frequency only, even the car camera only displays the image without any warning function".

"By introducing these latest reference designs for CAR DVR, AverLogic have the opportunity to meet the system integrators' need, and help them quickly develop the mobile surveillance system".

"With the new reference design, not only does the car driver hear the radar tone, the application also provides capability of viewing the image with distance information, or shows a warning indicator/message on the screen etc Additionally, it could be integrated with the existed Controller Area Network (CAN), or DVD player together in the in-car infotainment system".

Reflecting the increasing popularity of multiple-channel car DVRs, AverLogic is also enabling secure streaming up to nine live video inputs to TV or LCD TV outputs.

Adds Chang: "With AverLogic's reference design for four- or nine-channel car DVR, powered by AverLogic's AL37219 advanced surveillance controller, any of the selected inputs can be horizontal/vertical (H/V) scaled down (one-fourth, one-third, one-half, two-third, three-fourth) and frozen".

"Viewing modes include side-by-side, quadrant display, picture in picture (PIP), picture on picture (POP), and anti-rolling channel switching, and so on".

"This provides a high degree of video overlay flexibility".

The AL37204 and AL37219 are high performance real time video surveillance controllers capable of streaming four/nine live Pal/NTSC video channels to the system display.

Both controllers provide an additional input channel for playback and three separate output paths providing 8bit ITU-R BT656 and/or 24bit RGB format data for maximum flexibility meeting digital video recording and LCD TV/monitor display requirements.
