I-View Communication Picks Tundra PCI Express Bridge and Alogics PCI One Chip Decoder

By Anuradha Shukla, TMCnet Contributing Editor


Tundra Semiconductor and Alogics announced today that they’ve been selected by I-View Communication (I-View) to provide PCI Express (PCIe) Bridges and PCI One Chip Decoders to enable I-View’s PCIe DVR video capture cards for next-generation surveillance systems.

The I-View PCIe video capture card combines the APC (News - Alert)-915 from Alogics with the x1 PCIe bridging capability of Tundra’sTsi381 PCIe Bridge, offering I-View maximum video throughput performance over the PCIe interface, according to the company.
When Tundra’s Tsi381 and AlogicsAPC-915 are combined in video capture card designs, they improve system performance by maximizing the video data bandwidth over the PCI Express bus, company officials say. This capability increases the frames per second ratio and delivers optimum image resolution and frame rates in the surveillance system, according to the company.
James Ou, sales manager, I-View said his company evaluated a number of PCIe to PCI bridges for the DVR capture card and selected the Tundra Tsi381 for its superior performance, quality and reliability. I-View was able to integrate the Tsi381 with Alogics APC-915, enabling the company to achieve significantly better performance than any other solution, Ou said. This performance advantage allowed I-View to bring to market a product that provides customers the best video quality and frame rate, according to the company.
Jung Sam Park, vice president of Alogics, said that working closely with Tundra’s world-class support team allowed them to ensure that the combined Alogics APC-915 and Tsi381 PCIe Bridge provided the highest quality, best performance solution to get I-View’s video surveillance design to market quickly.
According to Tundra Semiconductor Vice President of Marketing Tracy Richardson, Tundra has built its long-standing reputation on the quality and reliability of the products they deliver, and on the world-class customer support that accompanies every interconnect product they ship.
She said that I-View’s use of their new Tsi381 PCIe Bridge demonstrates both the quality of this high performance part under demanding operating conditions, and the support of their expert technical team. Their customers continue to confirm that their high performance Tsi381 PCIe Bridge is both low-risk and easy to integrate into their existing designs, Richardson said.
