The Highest Integrated and Lowest BOM Cost Surveillance SOC for 4/8/16-Ch H.264 Hybrid DVR/NVR Solution

The GM8181 series video chip with FA626TE CPU core provide a high performance solution to accelerate the image and video related applications such as H.264 and JPEG to the end products. GM8181series support both the JPEG and H.264 encoder/decoder. It provides a cost-effective and easy development system for the integration and verification of the video application at the early development stage. The GM8181 system platform includes a wide range of basic components to reduce the overall system cost, including the H.264 codec, video capture, display controller, DES/3DES controller, USB 2.0 OTG controller, USB 2.0 PHY, DMA controller, PCI bridge, SATA controller, SATA-II PHY, Ethernet GMAC controller, and AMBA bus framework.
