Design Considerations

This professional studio-quality video encoding and decoding broadcast scalable platform leverages the processing power of the TMS320C6474 multi-core DSP and the flexibility of the TMS320DM6467 Digital Media SoC to render a truly unique system that can be adjusted to suit the capability of the end product. In this system, the ‘C6474 is used as the codec processor for the 4:2:2 video input.

TMS320C6474 Functionality:

  • In encode mode, raw video is fed via the VPIF/SRIO interface. One of the cores on the daughter card will act as a master and manage all encoding tasks on other C6474 chips/cores.
  • In decode mode, bit streams are fed via the GbE interface; decoded raw video will be sent to the DM6467 for post processing (scaling, etc).
  • Coding tasks can be partitioned via either slicing or functional partition across all 9 cores on the three C6474 DSPs.

Encoder Features:

  • Live MPEG-4, H.264, AVS and WMV9 encoding
  • High-end video compression algorithms, such as H.264 live encoding of synchronized video and audio
  • High-quality and performance with full D1 video and audio code-compatible (AAC)

Decoder Features:

  • Decode either MPEG-2 MP@HL or MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) HP
  • The DM6467 digital media processor can be programmed to support a number of audio and video standards and can be updated easily through software as network configurations and service needs change.
  • The DM6467 combines the DSP with HD video and imaging coprocessors to provide the high-speed computation required for HD video decoding, plus an ARM926 RISC processor for user interfaces, system control and programming ease.

The Core Subsystem Includes:

  • 1080i Analog video input and output
  • HD-SDI input and output
  • AES3 / S/PDIF digital audio input and output
  • Analog audio input and output
  • IP GbE communication
  • Transmission of decoded signal to an HD display for viewing or monitoring in real time
  • For added flexibility, additional high-performance daughtercards for 4:2:2 video processing can be utilized for multi-channel operations.
