o Based on Aptina HD Image Sensor SoC

o QuickLogic CAM I/F CSSP Reduces BOM

San Jose, CA, October 28, 2013 — VVDN Technologies announced today the availability of its HD Camera Cape for the BeagleBone Black development platform. Based on the Aptina™ MT9M114 HD market leading 720p30 image sensor with built-in image processing, and the QuickLogic CAM I/F Catalog CSSP (Customer Specific Standard Product), the HD Camera Cape provides developers, integrators and hobbyists with a high resolution, high quality image and video capture platform at an extremely affordable price. The HD Camera Cape is being offered through VVDN’s embedded solutions portal RadiumBoards at www.radiumboards.com.

“VVDN has established a significant foundation of experience developing embedded solutions based on TI SoCs containing advanced ARM Cortex® processors,” says Nathan Bozeman, VVDN’s VP of Sales and Marketing. “Combining Aptina’s industry leading image sensor technology with QuickLogic’s innovative CAM I/F CSSP enabled VVDN to rapidly develop a great addition to the cape community.”

"The MT9M114 SOC was selected as the best match for the BeagleBone Black development platform based upon its high quality HD video communication, low cost and ability to address both embedded and tethered applications,” says Shari Vedovato, Aptina's Director of Software Products. “Choosing an SOC rather than a standalone sensor, reduces the amount of system engineering and image quality tuning, which also improves customer’s time to market,” adds Vedovato.

“Developers can easily integrate QuickLogic’s CAM I/F catalog CSSP solution into TI’s Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 based SoC platforms,” said Mehul Kochar, senior business development manager for QuickLogic. “We are pleased to be included in VVDN Technologies’ new Camera Cape for BeagleBone Black. The system-verified combination will help OEMs bring their own products to market in less time and with reduced BOM costs.”
