Vimicro International Receives Order for Major SVAC Video-security Deployment in Sichuan Province

BEIJING, Sept. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Vimicro International Corporation (NASDAQ: VIMC) ("Vimicro" or the "Company"), a leading video-processing IC and security solution provider, today announced that its subsidiary Vimicro Electronics Corporation ("ZXDZ") has received an order for a SVAC (security Video and Audio Coding)-based technology solution, valued at approximately USD $9 million.

ZXDZ placed a successful bid for a city-wide security network project in Ziyang city in Sichuan province, which will be based on SVAC and deployed in cooperation with China Unicom. The network is being installed for the assurance of public security, and total spending on the project will be approximately $14.5 million, of which around $9 million will be contracted to ZXDZ. The system will be comprised of hundreds of video security stations installed in the city, and the project is expected to be completed by the end of the calendar year. This project represents the first phase of a larger installation in Ziyang city and in the surrounding county.

The project will feature SVAC technology, which is a core standard for video security in China, co-developed by Vimicro and the Ministry of Public Security along with contributions from more than 50 scientific research institutes, universities, and security-industry companies. During the past two years, Vimicro has installed several SVAC test sites across China and recently completed a successful field-trial of the SVAC standard.

"We are pleased to have been selected to provide this major video-security system in Ziyang city in Sichuan province. This project represents the first safe-city project in Sichuan province to fully adopt the SVAC technology standard, and it also marks SVAC's geographic adoption beyond Shanxi province," commented Dr. John Deng, Vimicro's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The project is another key validation of the national video security standard and of Vimicro's technology and capabilities, as the SVAC test sites we have deployed throughout China are now turning into substantial orders."
