Mango DSP, a provider of advanced video solutions for the CCTV, Homeland Security and Defense markets, announced the launch of the Pegasus Embedded Solution, an Intelligent Video Server (IVS) developed by Mango DSP and based on Texas Instruments Incorporateds DaVinci technology.  Mangos new solution is comprised of the Pegasus video server and IVS software and is designed to deliver a comprehensive solution for the unique requirements of the Homeland Security market.

Pegasus spawns innovation with its open API -- the analytic hooks of IVS software for DaVinci technology.  The software enables fast and simple integration with video content analysis providers, making the Pegasus a common video analytic platform for camera manufacturers.  Mango has applied for a pending patent on its IVS software for DaVinci technology.  The Pegasus is equipped with a Micron CMOS sensor and is packaged in a very small form factor enabling integration to large variety of cameras.

"Together TI and Mango DSP are revolutionizing the security market by offering simple and fast intelligent video servers for camera manufacturers," said Cyril Clocher, DSP business development manager EMEA, TI.  "The Pegasus board combines many cutting edge technologies onto one compact, easy to integrate, comprehensive solution."

We are pleased to work with Mango on its intelligent video application, enabling a truly cutting-edge video tracking and face recognition camera system," said Rene Hartner, senior marketing segment manager for Microns image surveillance segment.  "There were two critical imaging requirements that Mango took into consideration when choosing their image sensor partner. Mango selected Micron based on our expertise in high sensitivity and high frame rates, which are important for capturing clear, real-time video in changing lighting conditions."

With a complete portfolio of image sensors designed for the security market, Micron is providing manufacturers with the option to choose the best sensor that matches their design needs, whether for a consumer or a commercial camera application.  Microns CMOS-based security image sensors are easy to design-in and deliver exceptional imaging performance in low light situations with both near-IR and visible sub-lux (equivalent to the light from one candle) imaging capability. Additionally, by leveraging its legacy in high-speed sensor techniques, Microns portfolio of security image sensors provide extraordinarily high sensitivity and high frame rates, important for capturing clear, real-time video.

"We are the first to introduce an analytic and camera-ready, plug and play solution based on DaVinci technology.  We believe it will reduce the costs of intelligent cameras by far and will enable the camera manufacturers to integrate it with existing cameras that leverage the quality of Microns security CMOS image sensors" said Baruch Peled, CEO of Mango.  "We are confident that we will see a quick adaptation our solutions, bringing about more sales and a strengthening of the market."
