The DSK-INET daughter card from Bitec brings fast, simple internet connectivity to DSK based projects. Based on the lates Wiznet W5300 high performance embedded internet controller, the DSK-INET removes the need for a software TCP/IP stack running in the DSP. An API based on standard Berkley Sockets uses a minimal set of instructions to integrate the W5300 seamlessly into the DSP/BIOS kernel.

A new 5 megapixel CMOS HD Camera Board Kit is now available for use with DM355 and DM6446 EVMs from Kane Computing. It is sold separately or bundled with the DM355 EVM.

IPNetwork Camera (IPNC) reference designs based on DM355

The base DM355 IPNC reference design supports HD at 1.3 megapixels and leverages CMOS sensor technologies from Aptima. The wide dynamic range version (WDR) IPNC reference design uses TI TC922 WDR CMOS imager for high light/low light performance.

TI's latest ARM9 DaVinci digital media processor, TMS320DM365, provides pixel-perfect 1080p HD video. With this new device, developers can access H.264 and other video formats for a variety of resolutions, reduce system cost up to 25% with peripheral and software integration, and leverage DM365 DVEVM and DM355 IP to speed design process.

IPNetwork Camera (IPNC) reference designs based on DM365

The new DM365 digital media processor provides pixel perfect images with HD video up to 1080p. Unlike other processors available on the market, the ARM9-based DM365 device offers production-qualified H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MJPEG and VC1 codecs providing customers with the video flexibility to select the right format for their application. By offering to the mass market as part of the TI’s DaVinci technology portfolio of products, DM365 has the opportunity to reach new segments within the digital video market.

VisSim/Embedded Controls Developer Software updated

The latest version of VisSim (V7) brings even more functionality to a well established DSP visual developent package. An evaluation version is available.

Hand coded Maths and Signal Libraries for TI DSPs

Two very fast DSP libraries are available from KCL.

NatureDSP Math library offers accurate fixed point implementation of general purpose maths functions used in every DSP algorithm. It utilises 100% of fixed point DSPs capabilities requiring minimum CPU cycles. The NatureDSP Math library is useful for signal processing algorithms developers and digital communication system designers.

NatureDSP Signal library is a collection of signal processing routines needed for implementation of typical algorithms for voice/audio processing. Special memory management optimises performance and allows designers to utilise efficiently cache or DARAM/SARAM spaces and place most memory consuming blocks into the slow memory. Unique 'filter-on-the-fly' feature enables fast filter synthesis in real time.

Low latency MPEG2 codec for DM644x DSPs

Ittiam Systems introduces LLS, an off-the-shelf digital video server and client system based on MPEG2 and TMS320DM644x for latency sensitive applications.

LLS provides less than 150ms end to end latency (excludes any network transmission latency), support for both NTSC and PAL systems, streaming with MPEG-2 Transport Stream over RTP or UDP and low latency transmission rate control algorithms for strict CBR over the transmission channel.

ICE: Ittiam Codec Integration Environment demonstrator

This demo package consists of a GUI on the PC to configure and visualise the result of the Ittiam coding library. The only material you need is a TI EVM, a PC running Windows, A/V cables and video source for live tests.

WinCE 6.0 BSP for OMAP3530

Ittiam Systems introduces its Windows Embedded CE 6.0 DSP on TI's OMAP3530 Platform. The BSP is fully optimised for Multimedia Applications on the OMAP353x and other TI DaVinci processors.

The BSP is highly optimised for superior multimedia performance, enables easy integration of multimedia codecs via Codec Engine 2.2, and includes device drivers for pheripherals required by typical multimedia applications.
