DM6446 EVM (board only)

DM6446 EVM

Spectrum Digital are now selling the TMS 320DM6446 (DaVinci) EVM board direct. The part number is 702040. The EVM kit will include only the EVM, power supply, serial cable and ethernet cable. If you are looking to purchase additional boards or the board without the complete peripheral kit, this is the part for you.

Visit DM6446 EVM for further information.

IgnitionPro Evaluation Kit

IgnitionPro

The IgnitionPro Evaluation Kit consists of a DaVinci based processing module and a motherboard with peripheral connectors for interfacing to the outside world, plus DVR and Web Page Server example applications. The motherboard provides interfaces for composite video in and out, stereo audio in and out, remote control, ethernet, serial port, hard drive and compact flash. Developers can easily create their own peripheral board. The processing module is a production board or can be licensed for customers to build themselves.

Visit IgnitionPro for further information.

DVPB DaVinci Prototyping Board

DVPB

The DaVinci prototyping board is a small form factor board and is ideal for prototyping applications based on DaVinci technology. The board is targeted for applications like Smart Surveillance Camera, Video Servers, Video Conference Systems and other Streaming Media applications. DVPB is bundled with a software package consisting U-Boot Bootloader, test utilities and demo applications enabling developers to develop and prototype applications based on DaVinci technology. The software package also consists of a Surveillance System demo application based on H.264/MPEG4 video compression streaming live media using RTP /RTSP. The demo also features web based client application for live viewing of the video.

Visit DVPB for further information.

IPNetCam Smart IP Surveillance Camera Reference Design

IPNetCam

Based on TMS 320DM6446 platform IPNetCam is a ready-to-go solution, fully enabled for Intelligent Surveillance Applications with features like Object Detection, Classification and Tracking. It offers manufacturers a complete hardware and software package needed to quickly and easily design Smart IP Surveillance Solutions with a variety of advanced features. The camera hardware is optimised for BOM and features all the necessary interfaces. The software is compliant to DaVinci XDM Framework. Based on Linux operating system the software supports Dual Mode Encoding and ObjectVideo OnBoard Algorithm for content analysis.
