The VisionMOS Flexible Multimedia Platform (FMP) is a compact consumer electronics reference platform that can serve a variety of development roles. It is equipped with a modular image sensor port and high performance multimedia processor at its core. The platform also supports most common peripherals for this product class including USB 2.0, LCD display, high performance media codecs, and a flexible graphical user interface. The system can be configured as a point and shoot digital still camera, portable media player, video camera, and internet peripheral. The VisionMOS FMP is ideal for the company that is looking for fast path to market which can incorporate their own Sensors, Displays and Audio Devices. It can be provided as a stand alone hardware platform for evaluation, electronically as designs, layouts and firmware, or customized to meet specific market needs. A variety of customer support options are available. The FMP is modular, which also allows for a variety of customized configurations. Changes to the sensor, display, power supply and interfaces are possible. The system is highly programmable, and sports high performance hardware acceleration for image / video / audio intensive applications. The physical size when completely assembled is 2.5 inches tall, 4.25 inches wide and ¾ of an inch thick. The system may be optionally packaged in a housing or customized in terms of form factor. It is fully portable, operating on AA batteries. It also has all firmware loaded for immediate operation right out of the package.

Architecture


The VisionMOS FMP is a multi-board modular consumer electronics platform. Its architecture is based on a high performance Zoran COACH 9 processor. The system is made up of 5 primary subsystems, although custom configurations including single board solutions are possible. The main processor board contains all interconnects to the other subsystems. It houses the COACH 9 processor, system memory, and primary interfaces including USB and SD removable media. The LCD assembly contains the LCD panel (which may also be custom selected), as well as user configuration buttons and feedback indicators. The power subsystem has a number of options, although the primary configuration is 3xAA standard alkaline batteries for easy replacement. Other options including lithium batteries and charging are possible. The image sensor board enables a modular configuration of CMOS or CCD sensors, with a variety of optics options. Included in the baseline system is a high performance CMOS sensor and fixed focus options. Many customization options are available.
 

System Use


The FMP system may be configured as a digital video camera with direct write to high density SD card. Codecs for Windows Media and MPEG 4 are included with the system. The FMP may also act as a multimedia player where decode of a number of video, still image and audio files are needed. A highly integrated file system enhances the user experience when interacting with media management on a portable platform. The baseline configuration of the system is as a still camera, where high quality still images, and features such controllable resolution, image frames, audio annotation, and digital zoom enhance the user experience. The FMP platform can be customized by VisionMOS to meet your needs, or is available off the shelf in a number of standard configurations. Licensing options for production are also available.
