PCI Development Boards for the PNX1500 and PNX1700 TriMedia/Nexperia Processors

The VCP is a PCI based hardware platform for the development of PNX1500 (including PNX0190 and PNX9520) or PNX1700 applications and algorithms where the PC is used as the I/O subsystem during development. The VCP 1500 can also be used for TriMedia TSSA based algorithm development for PNX8950 platforms.

DM643x Processors Enable Cost-Sensitive Digital Media Applications

TI's DaVinci(TM) processors have broken the $10 barrier, enabling designers to apply TI's digital-media-optimized technology in cost-sensitive applications such as automotive- and machine-vision systems, video security, IP set-top boxes and video telephony. All four new TMS 320DM643x processors take full advantage of DaVinci technology's software and development infrastructure, enabling designers to focus on application functionality.

New Lowest-Cost Floating-Point C6720 DSP Features Exceptional Versatility

TI has introduced the new TMS 320C6720 DSP, the industry's lowest-cost floating-point DSP, that's ideal for musical instruments, medical devices, biometrics, radio broadcasting, audio conferencing and instrumentation as well as many other applications. The C6720 floating-point DSP can significantly decrease your time-to-market by eliminating the need to convert floating-point prototypes into fixed-point designs.

DCAM Video Frame Capture Development EVM-Kit

The DCAM Frame Capture Development Kit combines the features of the UC1394a-3 ultra small DSP/FPGA/IEEE1394 platform with software support for industrial digital cameras. The result is a development environment where the user can focus on his application rather than dealing with IEEE1394 details. The Kit uses the DSP Master FPGA design for high-speed transfer of image data to the DSP or SDRAM. Full camera control and access to all DCAM features is provided by the DCAM Frame Capture API .
