1.3MP/2MP Panoramic VR Camera Hisilicon Hi3518EV200 Solution

A panoramic camera can replace four traditional cameras to have your entire room covered. More and more people opts to HD fisheye cameras. Single fisheye lens cameras are widely accepted by end users, simply because they can deliver panoramic video with decent image quality, the cost of the new product keep the same with traditional cameras. 

Hi3518E is one of flagship SoCs from Hisilicon network camera portfolio. This SoC has the capability to process real-time/30fps HD and 15fps Full HD video. The Hi3518EV200 is the refined processor based on its predecessor Hi3518EV100. New SoC has integrated with 512MB DDR2 SDRAM to further reduce power consumption and lower the cost of products. The new SoC now can support panoramic video de-warping technology which can correct panoramic image to 2D flat image, therefore support ePTZ.

Hi3518EV200 Core Processor

Hi3518E V200 is a new-generation SoC designed for the HD IP camera. It has an integrated new-generation ISP and H.264 encoder. It uses the optimized picture processing algorithm before encoding, advanced low-power technology, and low-power architecture design. These designs and functions enable Hi3518E V200 to feature industry-leading low bit rate, high picture quality, and low power consumption. It supports 90° or 270° rotation and lens distortion correction by using hardware, which meets requirements in various surveillance application scenarios. It also supports 3A algorithms, which allow customers to design various types of IP cameras including the movement of the integrated camera. Hi3518E V200 integrates the POR, RTC as well as audio CODEC and supports various sensor levels and clock outputs, which significantly reduces the EBOM costs for the Hi3518E V200 HD IP camera. Similar to other HiSilicon DVR and NVR SDKs, the Hi3518E V200 SDK supports rapid mass production and the system layout of IP cameras, DVRs, and NVRs.
