NXP 1080p/60 High-Profile
H.264 IP camera products
ASC884xA & ASC885xA
Integrated solutions for full HD security
IP cameras with H.264 compression
A range of pin-to-pin compatible, high-definition surveillance camera products that integrate
full functionality from raw image sensor data input, image signal processing (ISP), and High-
Profile H.264 compression to secure transmission over the network. The ‘Advanced’ version
offers improved image enhancement capabilities for low light conditions and frame-rates up to
1080p/60. All versions are fully pin-to-pin compatible with the previous IP camera products of
NXP, enabling easy design upgrades without the need for hardware modifications.

NXP’s integrated IP camera products take care of the image
optimization, low delay and low bitrate compression, and secure
transmission to the IP network by the integrated Ethernet
controller.
The IP camera products also support USB, SPI, PCIe, UARTs,
and GPIO interfaces for control functions such as pan/tilt/zoom
(PTZ). The I
2
S interface provides local audio recording and
playback functionality. A video output is available to display the
captured video for local viewing.
The transition of standard-definition analog CCTV cameras to
high-definition digital IP cameras is rapidly increasing in video
security, entailing the move from analog cable networks to
digital switched networks. This move brings along additional
advantages, such as support of longer distances without losing
quality, fewer interference issues, integration with existing data
