Cypress OSMIUM: Wiegand-OSDP converter
OSDP™, or Open Supervised Device Protocol, is the new communication protocol developed by the Security Industry Association. OSDP both standardizes the reader-panel connection and secures it.
The Cypress OSMIUM™ converter is among the first devices to help make the transition to OSDP. OSMIUM repackages Wiegand, Serial, Strobe, ABA, Barcode and other widely used interfaces into an equivalent OSDP packet structure. The converter also supervises the reader-panel connection, and can be field-configured as a reader-side or panel-side device.
