MW-NVT ONVIF Network Video Transmitter Suite (DM812x/DM368/DM365/DM355/DM6467 platforms)

Overview

Synesis’ MW-NVT suite provides the full functionality of an ONVIF-compliant Network Video Transmitter (NVT) with third party interface options. The middleware suite includes production level designs of HD cameras and video encoders that enable an OEM to quickly add their differentiating IP or go straight to manufacture. The firmware supports embedded (edge-based) video analytics, events and firmware upgarde in accordance with ONVIF.

The middleware suite reduces significantly the development cycle of the NVT device by eliminating the routine development work associated with web/SOAP services, multimedia streamer and configuration functionality in accordance with ONVIF. The suite provides an abstraction layer for platform specific calls such as network and time settings and application specific calls such as video capturing, encoding and analytics.

Modular architecture

The modular and flexible architecture of the middleware suite provides cost-effective software customization, third-party integration and maintenance.

The IP device can be integrated with legacy video management systems (without ONVIF support) by mapping ONVIF calls onto a custom protocol handler.

Key differentiators

The unique proposition of the Synesis’ ONVIF solution is determined by:

  • Advanced edge analytics support including configuration, rule management, metadata streaming and event notification
  • True multichannel architecture of IP device useful for encoders and picture in picture digital zoom
  • Complimentary ONVIF Device Manager with the source code under GNU General Public License
  • Centralised, fault tollerent firmware update infrastructure
  • Small code footprint under 32 Mb including the Linux operating system

Rich feature set based on industry standard

The following feature blocks are available in Synesis’ reference designs based on the ONVIF NVT suite:

  • Network device discovery
  • Live video streaming
  • Video capture configuration
  • Video compression configuration
  • Video analytics configuration
  • Event and metadata configuration
  • Rule management for alerts
  • Firmware update
  • Local storage / network storage recording
  • Multiple profiles
  • Security

The standard conformance is validated by the community test tools, third-party VMS integration and internal QA.

Proven design

The reference design hardware including the camera and multichannel encoder have been successfully integrated with ONVIF compliant VMS such as Milestone XProtect and AxxonSoft Intellect Enterprise. Several manufactures have already licensed the suite and supplied products to end users.

Turnkey solution

Complete reference designs are available directly from Synesis including hardware, middleware, codecs, video analytics and integration with third party VMS.

High definition support

The middleware is integrated with Texas Instruments’ and third-party codecs supporting 720p and 1080p H.264 encoding. High performance embedded video analytics is designed to run at high definition for long range object detection and tracking.

Multiple channel support

For multiple channel configurations, the middleware is integrated with H.264 AVC Main Profile codec from Ittiam. Third-party codecs are supported via the TI’s Codec Engine (xDAIS) interface. Video analytics and metadata streaming is available on all channels.

Open source ONVIF Device Manager

ONVIF Device Manager is an open-source application for Windows that implements the ONVIF NVC interface including Discovery, Device, Media, Imaging, Analytics, Events and services.

Camera vendors and system integrators can add news features to ONVIF Device Manager or its components to build a new system. The application has a skinnable and multilingual interface. New languages can be added without changing the source code. ONVIF Device Manager is compatible with over 1,000 ONVIF conformant products, including IP-cameras and encoders.

Download ONVIF Device Manager for free.

Integration and customisation

Synesis provides design services to integrate the ONVIF suite with the end-user solution and to create differentiating IP for its customers. With the source code license, the customer gains full control of the ONVIF software implementation.

Supported hardware

Synesis’ ONVIF library is written in C code and has no hardware dependencies. The turn-key solution including the library and device-specific applications is currently available on TI’s DaVinci DM8127 (DM812x), DM6467 (TM320DM6467), DM368 (TMS320DM368), DM365 (TMS320DM365) and DM355 (TMS320DM355). Available firmware is compatible with Synesis designs and Appro Technology designs (including TMDXIPCAM8127J3, DM368IPNC-MT5, DM365IPNC-MT5, DM355IPNC-MT5 models).The solution can be ported to platforms based on Stretch, NXP and other vendor chips.
