Key competences for your benefit
Security and especially data encryption projects, developed for players of the electronic payment market, brought us advanced competences in this area. These high level competences allow us to provide a comprehensive range of complete security solutions or offer highly flexible cryptographic cores used for symmetric and asymmetric encryption.
Image and video processing has been a key competence since the start of Silex Insight in 1991. As a logical outcome of several projects performed in the Barco group, our engineers are experts at implementing real time, high performance image processing algorithms onto dedicated hardware. This is particularly true for image and video compression, where we also offer the best in class video codecs like JPEG2000, VC-2 HQ, MPEG2 and JPEG IP cores. In 2016 , we added the production and sales of Video over IP boards to our activities.
