The latest video processor from Texas Instruments, the TMS320DM365 DaVinci processor includes production-qualified H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MJPEG and VC1 codecs.
The aim, said the supplier, is to offer designers a choice of HD video codec - 1080p MPEG-4 at 24 fps or 720p H.264 and MPEG-4 at 30 frames per second (fps).
One example is video security applications requiring 1080p H.264 at 10fps to provide high-quality video with greater compression efficiency.
An on-chip ARM926EJ-S core delivers up to 300MHz while offloading the video encode/decode functions to the integrated HD video accelerators.
On-chip ISP with noise filtering, video stabilization, face detection, auto white balance, auto focus, auto exposure and edge enhancement allows for image improvements and added intelligent video processing.
Royalty-free, production-ready codec bundles include (MP3, G.711, H.264, MPEG-4 and JPEG) and premium audio and video bundles (AAC, WMA and AEC, MPEG-2, VC1/WMV9).
