Blackfin Powers Be Here Corporation Voip Collaboration Phone For Full-Motion Video, Audio And Data Conferencing
Analog Devices, Inc. announced that Be Here Corporation, a venture-funded firm introducing VoIP (Voice-over-IP) collaboration phones that deliver a new paradigm for multi-location meetings, selected Analog Devices’ Blackfin® as a critical processor for its collaboration phone solutions integrating video, audio and data into one device. Be Here’s product, which comprises a tabletop conferencing device and client software that runs on individual PCs, empowers each and every user in a meeting to control what they see, hear and share at any moment. Addressing such convergent-processing challenges has helped establish Blackfin as the processor of choice for networked multi-media designs.
ADI processor’s digital-video and networked-media prowess integrates designer’s onvergent-processing needs for multi-location meetings
Seeking a low-cost, high-performance signal processor for full-motion video, audio, and data conferencing for its streamlined device, Be Here® selected the Blackfin ADSP-BF561 processor from Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI). The ADSP-BF561 – with two high performance Blackfin cores, flexible cache architecture, enhanced DMA subsystem, and Dynamic Power Management (DPM) functionality, all in a single chip – processes multiple instruction sets and powers the collaboration phone’s video and audio compression tasks.
“Be Here delivers solutions that will change the way enterprises meet to do business by providing a device that allows each individual user to get what they need out of every meeting,” said Ed Burfine, Chief Marketing Officer, Be Here Corporation. “Analog Devices sold us on its expertise in video and VoIP, and backed it up with a very cost-competitive product – Blackfin. Using Blackfin, we can extend the benefits of VoIP to the millions of conference tables going unserved today.”
