Analog Devices: Press Releases: Analog Devices™ Semiconductor Advancements Enable New Surveillance And Security Products
Chipmaker Analog Devices, Inc., a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, has showcased technologies that enable advances in safety and security systems at the International Fire and Security Exhibition and Conference (IFSEC) featuring ADI™ latest chips for security camera innovations, including broadband-based solutions like video-over-Ethernet cameras that provide full-color, full-motion, real-time digital image compression for IP-based remote surveillance networks.
The fingerprint recognition system is based on the Blackfin® Processor and AuthenTec TruePrint® sensor. AuthenTec Inc. is the leading semiconductor provider of fingerprint sensors to the PC, wireless, and PDA, access control and automotive markets and has designed the Blackfin into its FingerLoc AFS8600 Embedded Developer’s Kit.
The TruePrint sensor captures a fingerprint image within a fraction of a second, while the Blackfin Processor meets the demanding signal processing requirements of AuthenTec’s AFS8600 EDK for fingerprint matching subsystems. The combination of the TruePrint sensor and Blackfin Processor enables AuthenTec to drive security features such as fingerprint recognition into the consumer electronics and other markets that previously could not afford to offer advanced biometric sensing.
