TI Developer Conference Worldwide 2007Article Concludes Transcoding Is Key to the Future of Video
The evolution of video entertainment does indeed depend on multiformat transcoding, according to Tim Siglin, a contributing editor for StreamingMedia.com. His article, “TI Advocates for Moving Transcoding From the Core” (StreamingMedia.com, 9 Nov. 2006), validates the idea that transcoding is essential for seamlessly delivering video that consumers can view on the device of their choice. Read the article now.

Key Considerations About Using Class-D Audio Amps in Portable Products
Class-D audio amplifiers enable longer battery run-time and cooler operation in portable end products, but they also demand designers take into account several differences from traditional class-AB amplifiers, including proper board layout, component selection and amplifier measurements. Get all the details in the article “Designing Class-D Audio Amplifiers into Portable Applications” (PlanetAnalog.com, 28 June 2006) by TI engineers Nick Holland, Greg Hupp and Andy Liang.

Explore Importance of Video Compression and Data Flow in Video Surveillance Designs
With demand for digital video surveillance systems booming, designers who are developing next-generation video surveillance systems need to thoroughly understand video compression, system partitioning and codec optimization. Zhengting He, a TI software application engineer, examines the subject in his article “Video Compression and Data Flow for Video Surveillance” (ECN, 1 Feb. 2007). Check it out now.
