2. The Need for VSoM
HW and BSP SW Development Complexity
&
Variety and Complexity of Video Standards and Interfaces
&
Fast Time-to-Market
Off-the-shelf VSoM
as a
“Short-cut” for video based embedded systems developers
focusing on their application

3. VSoM Definition
 Single board based on SoC with memory, interfaces and features with strong
affinity to video technologies required for embedded computer
 Lacks standard I/O peripherals connectors
 Dense package used in small and specialized applications requiring low power
 Standalone board, which breaks the I/O signals out via board-to-board or board-
to-cable connectors

4. VSoM Definition
 Used as a carrier to a rich and varied world of video interfaces and other I/O
peripherals via add-on modules or panel mounted standard peripheral
connectors
 BSP and Linux/Android OS
 Advanced Ultimate Digital Video Platform (“UDVP”) API
