Streaming
Media and Digital Broadcast –
a Hit at CES
Streaming media and digital broadcast
was a hot topic at the recent Consumer
Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
TI highlighted several announcements
with customers and partners, featuring
both Advanced Profile Windows Media
™ 9 Series (SMPTE VC-1) and MPEG-4 AVC H.264 for high-definition video
content delivery over digital TV. TI
and TANDBERG Television showcased a
live interoperability demo for high-definition
VC-1, the latest encoder for real-time,
end-to-end IP set top box applications.
ANT, a leading provider of user interface
software for digital TV and consumer
electronics, announced they have ported
their new Galio™ software to TI’s
DM642 digital media processor. This
porting enables IP set top box manufacturers
to easily add browser and control functions,
enhancing the viewing pleasure of digital
TVs. Finally, Sentivision and Modulus
Video demonstrated H.264 MP@ML interoperability,
highlighting the ability to decode with
all tools active at D1 resolution. See

media capabilities. |

EE
Times Names TI and ObjectVideo one of the
Best Development Teams
TI designers and ObjectVideo developers were
recently named one of the Best Development
Teams by Electronic Engineering (EE) Times.
The team jointly devised video content analysis
algorithms that would run on TI's digital
media processors. Read more now and see why
they received this honor.
Estimating Motion for Video Compression
Today, we can communicate via text, audio,
speech and video in daily situations. However,
the amount of information communicated becomes
huge quickly and must be handled through compression
to be effective. How do you determine which
search algorithm to use to implement motion
estimation for video compression? Download
this article to find out. |
