New
DaVinci™ Technology Provides HD
Quality for Feature-Rich Cameras
As the first fully programmable solution
of its kind available, TI’s new
DaVinci Technology enables digital camera
designers to quickly, easily and cost-effectively
differentiate their products with superior
quality images and high-definition (HD)
video. The technology includes a new
highly flexible processor, a software
suite that simulates a full digital
still camera system and third parties
offering camera-specific algorithms.
Offering three times the performance
of previous processors as well as lower
power consumption, the DaVinci solution
makes it possible for cameras to combine
higher quality images with rapid processing
speeds for both still shots and HD video.

Easily
Write Production-Ready Code With New Digital
Video Evaluation Module
Begin immediate evaluation of DaVinci™
processors with TI’s Digital Video Evaluation
Module (DVEVM). With the DVEVM, you can start
building digital video applications such as
videophones, digital still cameras and digital
video products that have yet to be invented.
The DVEVM enables developers to write production-ready
application code for the ARM and provides
access to the DSP core using DaVinci application
programming interfaces. See how you can initiate
the development of digital video applications.

Enhanced
DMA Efficiently Manages Multiple Real-Time
Data Streams
Managing multiple asynchronous real-time data
streams in today's highly integrated DSP systems
can be a daunting task. DSP applications such
as video servers require support for several
I/O data streams within a single system. Since
these applications require a high level of
computational performance, the DSP core cannot
be burdened with managing the data flow among
memory and peripherals. This paper explores
how an effective DMA solution allows the DSP
to focus on signal processing computation,
ensuring real-time deadlines are met and maximum
efficiency is maintained. |
