Camera-Monitor-Systems as Solution for the Automotive Market

This chapter describes your opportunity to realize camera-monitor-systems (CMS) using our semiconductor products on the market. Socionext Europe GmbH provides hardware, software and tools to build systems for the automotive sector. The international standard ISO 16505 describes the minimum technical requirements for a digital camera-monitor-system to ensure that humans don’t lose their overview—even with complex systems. The control, visualization and processing of information via a single platform which combines these tasks, can be designed to be both comfortable to use and safe. In order to implement a camera-monitor-system, more than just a simple camera and an industrial monitor is required. The safety aspect must not be neglected. An intelligent controller which monitors the application and guarantees the integrity of the information that is presented is necessary.
