TI Bo: highly integrated, high-definition video needs proper red! (1)

2010 2 November-5 November in beijinginternationalexhibitioncenter's fair, the TI booth solutions based on TMS320DM8168, attract many visitors.

"DM8168 while supporting 16 D1 encoding and 16-channel decoding, currently on the market can do without a chip," TI video and Visual business video business manager Cyril Clocher is proud to display.

Recently, hikvision (Hikvision) has announced the launch of a new paragraph SoC based digital video recorder (DVR) products, "it is DM8168 in March of time-to-market, and TI on-going support, hikvision can exceed market requirements, in eight months to develop a platform based on DM8168 DVR product," hikvision CEO Huyang-said.

The chip will be HD multi-channel system with all the capture, compression, display and control functions on a single chip perfect integration in to continuously meet users on highly integrated, high-definition video growing demand.

That subsection SoC for video security and video communications applications has been carefully designed, highly integrated 1 GHz ARM ® Cortex ™-A8 and 1 GHz TI C674x digital signal processor (DSP) core. The integrated SoC DM8168 video will not only bring the system of electronic bill of material (eBOM) costs halved, but also can replace the ten more discrete devices feature significantly reduced footprint and power plate.

And TI previous generation 1GHz clock DM6467T DM8168 compared to video compression can improve performance, while improving the multi-channel density, and can support a higher resolution.

In addition, the SoC can significantly improve high-definition video pre-processing and post-processing functions, and thus a lower bitrate supports higher quality video, video security and video communication. Relative to the previous generation of digital video processors, support advanced video analysis and enhanced 2D and 3D graphics, innovative single-chip SoC to DM8168 video depends on the implementation of the 16 channel video formats such as H.264 DVR functionality, which can significantly reduce DVR system cost and complexity.

The main DM8168 video SoC system features and benefits: • for mixed security DVR solution, support for both HP with 16 channel H.264 CIF child code stream of D1 encoding and decoding, 8-channel D1 and video mixing and blending functions, image support up to three independent monitors; • video communication applications with support for both 3-60 frames per second, because of 1080p channel delay of less than 1 codec, tablets, Ms, the issue of eliminating, reducing point-to-point delay down to 50 msec; • the extremely high level of integration, integrated ARM 1 GHz, 1 GHz TI Cortex-A8 C674x floating-point DSP, several second generation programmable high-definition video imaging co-processor, an innovative high-definition video processing subsystem, as well as comprehensive codec support (including high-definition resolution h.264, VC1 support MPEG-4 and); • include Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express, SATA2, DDR2, DDR3, USB, MMC/SD 2.0, HDMI and DVI and many other interfaces, supports highly flexible design of the programme implementation; • seamless interfaces connected to four TI's multi-channel video decoder TVP5158, seamlessly capture up to 16 D1 video channel.

TVP5158 can automatically control the contrast, reduce noise, increase the compression ratio and overall video quality, thereby not only cancels the additional FPGA and external storage, you can simplify the design, increase system flexibility. [1] [2] [3] [4]
