Hisilicon's new Hi3516 Surveillance HD IP Camera SOC Integrates Apical's Image Signal Processor Core

LONDON, January 6, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Apical [http://www.apical.co.uk ], a leading provider of imaging technology for
cameras and displays, announces that its ISP core is integrated into the latest
surveillance camera processors by Hisilicon [http://www.hisilicon.com ], a subsidiary of
Huawei, Inc.

    Hisilicon's Hi3516 is a System-on-Chip (SoC) device combining a powerful ARM core, a
video encoder subsystem and an imaging subsystem based on Apical's latest-generation Image
Signal Processor (ISP) core. The Hi3516 delivers full HD video at 30fps and supports
sensors up to 16 Megapixel resolution.

    Apical's ISP cores are unique in that they combine high-performance image processing
at low power with native support of high dynamic range (HDR) capture technology. This
combination addresses the central requirements of the emerging surveillance IP camera
market more effectively than the approaches adopted by other manufacturers.

    Says Michael Tusch, CEO of Apical: "We're very pleased that Hisilicon selected our
technology as the basis for the Hi3516 imaging subsystem. Apical ISPs of course leverage
our industry-leading high dynamic range technology but I am equally satisfied that we have
been able to combine this with state-of-the-art noise reduction, color management and
other key elements to obtain the best possible images under the widest range of
conditions, from high contrast to low light."

    Says Mr Yangfengguo, Director of Hisilicon surveillance PL: "In designing our new
generation of surveillance camera processors, we recognized that the ISP is one of the
most important parts of the system. We like working with Apical because they aim to
deliver the best technology in the market and are ready to work closely with us to achieve
the best possible results for our customers."
