– Free production-quality code is offered with production licensing. Many of the codecs are available for immediate download. Some require request. After a request is processed, download instructions will be emailed to you.
TI provides Ittiam's evaluation codecs for free. Please conact them directly for production licensing of support questions.
The DM355S AUDIO Codec Bundle must be used when TMS320CDM355 devices are used. This Ittiam production code is also available for free. Pleas contact Ittiam directly for support questions.
Texas Instruments’ MPEG-4/H.263 encoder software is a proven module that allows for high performance real-time video encoding. The ready-to-implement MPEG-4/H.263 codec reduces time-to-market because it can be easily integrated into a design without writing or debugging software. It conforms to the MPEG-4 standards approved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), as well as the H.263 standard from the ITU.
The MPEG-4/H.263 encoder can be tuned for optimal performance in security or videoconferencing applications via flexible rate control. It is available in system tested codec combinations with a codec engine, DSP/BIOS, DSPLink and Framework components. The MPEG-4 is available in codec combinations including MPEG-4 SP decode in encode/decode example applications.
