Real-Time H.264 1.3 Megapixel - Vivotek Supreme IP8151 White Paper

5. H.264 Real-time 1.3 Megapixel
In addition to low light sensitivity, the IP8151 has also adopted Texas
Instruments' newest video processor chipset named DaVinci
specifically geared toward professional video applications has a number
of features which also help to enhance image quality even further. The
chip itself features an ISP (Image Signal Processor) which allows for
additional processing of the raw video captured by the lens and sensor,
reducing the burden on the camera CPU and allowing for video quality on
the level of CCD sensors. Although CCD sensors are commonly believed
to feature better image quality than CMOS, the combination of the Exmor
sensor and DaVinci chipset has flattened these discrepancies, and offers
benefits such as reduction in phenomena such as blooming and
smearing which can commonly occur with CCD sensors.
Fig.6 The superb performance of the IP8151 is on par with CCD cameras, even
in night mode.
Beyond the ISP, the power of the DaVanci chipset allows for the perfect
transmission of 1.3-megapixel resolution video at 30fps compressed with
H.264. The H.264 compression technology is able to decrease bandwidth
usage and storage space up to 30% compared to MPEG4 and is the
common accepted standard for professional IP Surveillance today.
