Texas Instruments’ TMS320DM642 DSP-based digital media processor provides the foundation required to bring high-definition (HD) video and audio to the videoconferencing market. High-definition videoconferencing systems, backed by the processing resources of TI’s 720 MHz DM642 architecture, allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to develop and launch scalable systems to the market faster.
TI’s DM642 digital media processor provides an optimized platform for enterprise-class videoconferencing applications that scale easily from client endpoint devices to the multipoint control units/gateways using multiple DM642 devices that enable IP-based videoconferencing across several sites. Multiple DM642s can be seamlessly connected via the 66 MHz PCI bus interface for high-speed connectivity. The DM642 digital media processors have all the integrated I/O and streaming capabilities – including on-chip HD-capable video ports, glueless 10/100 Ethernet connectivity, multi-channel audio, and 66 MHz PCI connectivity – to develop true high-definition systems, and TI’s extensive third-party network supplies the necessary software for compressing and decompressing both audio and video streams.
