What is Driving the 3G-SDI Adoption
 Improved jitter attenuation and improved jitter margins mean that there is more tolerance
for cascaded SDI signals.
 Longer cable distances using coaxial cables means less need to install fiber optics to go
the longer distances.
 Better performance even at lower data rates, 3G can deliver longer cable lengths and
reduced bit error rates.

Sharp Continues to Expand
LED-backlit Industrial LCDs
Put the performance and ruggedness of Sharp’s industrial displays to work in your
product designs — with the added benefit of LED backlighting.
LED-backlit LCDs enable slimmer design profiles, while also delivering added durability and
longer backlight life — even in rigorous industrial applications. Sharp continues it’s efforts to
develop LCD products that are kinder to our environment. Now, there are many more design
possibilities you can feel good about.
The benefits of Sharp’s LED-backlit LCDs include:

• Longer operating life
• Low power consumption
• Environmental friendliness (Mercury [Hg] free)
• Greater resistance to mechanical shock (no glass tubes)
• Fast response to full brightness, no warm up required
• Wide dimming ratio (to <1%)
• Reduction of electronic noise (low DC drive voltage)
Sharp displays feature wide operating temperatures, high brightness , high contrast, wide viewing angles,
quick response time, durable coating, and other features ideal for industrial applications.
LED-Backlit Now Available: LED-Backlit Displays Coming Soon!

Design Considerations for a Passive Infrared Enabled
Remote Monitoring/Surveillance Camera When Using
AP P LI C ATI ON N OTES
the Conexant CX93510
This application note will show the key requirements of a passive infrared enabled surveillance
camera, the kind that might be deployed in an apartment building, financial institution or residence.
The camera will capture both video and audio data which can be transferred to a central control
panel. The use of passive infrared detection allows the camera to be triggered when a change in the
environment is detected. This will save on power and will make it easier to detect alarm conditions-
like an intruder or movement of a door or window.
Topics in this application note are organized by design task (Device Selection, System Design,
and Board Design) and each topic is a stand-alone section, with a short introduction or overview,
followed by the key design guidelines.
