Ittiam Systems Introduces 'Clove' [Professional Services Close - Up](Professional Services Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Ittiam Systems said it has added new hardware platform to its neonCaster family. According to a release from the company, the platform, named 'Clove', is based on the latest generation ARM Cortex-A15 processor from Texas Instruments and is suitable for most low-power multimedia applications in Industrial & Defense, Automotive and Broadcast segments. Ittiam said Clove compliments neonCaster Gen II NPM based on Texas Instruments TMS320DM816x processor to address newer class of applications. Clove supports implementation of single-channel H.264 encode / decode up to full HD (1080p60) and single-channel HEVC decode up to 1080p30 and simultaneous multiple channels at lower resolutions, at nearly one-third the power. Clove, as a standalone board, with its optimized set of on-board interfaces can be used for a range of applications. For more application categories, Clove interfaces with different I/O Boards (Nova) for additional audio/video, storage and network interfaces. Clove is pin compatible with NPM and both Clove and NPM can interchangeably be used with neonCaster Gen II I/O Boards. Clove and Nova are available in Industrial operating temperature range and are ideal for low-power battery operated Industrial, Defense, Aerospace and Automotive applications. Sheela Prabhakar, Vice President, Industrial & Defense Solutions at Ittiam Systems, said, "We have been providing reliable, high- performance embedded multimedia solutions to our customers and we are pleased to expand our portfolio with this low power solution. We will soon be offering Media SDKs on Clove and with combined hardware and software offering, our solution will help drastically reduce time-to-market to our OEM customers." Marc Guillaumet, Senior Vice President, Marketing at Ittiam Systems, said, "Customers are more and more appealed by our turnkey systems offerings built with our existing hardware and software IPs to design their custom products at a much reduced time and cost. At the core of this strategy are the neonCaster modular hardware and software subsystems. In this product line, we were missing a low power solution for battery operated devices. Clove will now enable to integrate video server, transcoder or client functions in portable devices, in a similar modular approach, keeping development cost minimal." Jukka Virtanen, Product Manager at Teleste, European technology company which offers broadband video communication networks, said, "The innovative and dedicated design group of Ittiam has come up with a design for Clove which will help take complex specifications to a truly professional and versatile video product." Adrian Valenzuela, Marketing Director at Texas Instruments, said, "Ittiam's design of Clove platform is extremely versatile in bringing out the processor's features and performance for wide range of applications. OEMs can greatly benefit with Ittiam's modular hardware and software subsystems to build low-power high- performance multimedia solutions." Ittiam Systems Private Limited, headquartered in Bangalore, India, is a technology company.
