Alfamation, a provider of turnkey test and measurement solutions, confirms its role as a provider of automated test solutions for the automotive market by securing a contract from a Tier 1 supplier of automotive infotainment systems. The company’s Flexmedia dual channel multimedia stream analyzer is specifically designed for infotainment testing. More specifically testing video, audio, and data streams used in the latest generation of automotive infotainment systems.
This analyzer is a custom-optimized implementation of the company’s Flexmedia K-series of high-speed video analyzers providing a flexible and robust method for both laboratory and automated functional testing either in R&D or for production of multiple DUTs (devices under test) for infotainment applications. Flexmedia K-Series video testers provide extensive compatibility to support all the key features offered by major chipsets.
The company has recently been awarded a substantial contract to provide its dual channel multimedia stream analyzer to an automotive infotainment subsystem manufacturer. With this new custom-designed product, the company has demonstrated its capacity to envision, engineer, and manufacture a derivative product meeting specific customer requirements at an optimized cost-to-performance ratio.
Utilizing the company’s stream analyzer, customers will now be able to guarantee the quality of the infotainment systems coming off their high-speed production lines, while greatly reducing testing costs. Operating remotely via a Telnet or SHH protocol, the Flexmedia analyzer can perform rapid frame grabbing of incoming video and a full analysis of the video stream in real-time.
“Complexity when combined with the rapid development cycles in the automotive industry is creating niches for companies like ours that can provide a higher level of customer-specific service and know-how in the multimedia systems arena,“ said Mauro Arigossi, CEO of the company.
