Fast Time-to-Market

Off-the-shelf VSoM

as a

“Short-cut” for video based embedded systems developers

focusing on their application

The Need for VSoM

VSoM Definition

Single board based on SoC with memory, interfaces and features with strong

affinity to video technologies required for embedded computer

Lacks standard I/O peripherals connectors

Dense package used in small and specialized applications requiring low power

Standalone board, which breaks the I/O signals out via board-to-board or board-

to-cable connectors

Used as a carrier to a rich and varied world of video interfaces and other I/O

peripherals via add-on modules or panel mounted standard peripheral

connectors

BSP and Linux/Android OS

Advanced Ultimate Digital Video Platform (“UDVP”) API
