TEXAS INSTRUMENTS LAUNCHES NEW DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM FOR DAVINCI™ TECHNOLOGY TO SPEED DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL VIDEO PRODUCTS

Texas Instruments Incorporated has released the TMS320DM6437 Digital Video Development Platform (DVDP) for its DM643x digital media processors announced last quarter. The DM6437 DVDP brings the complete DaVinci™ technology development environment to these processors by bundling a full TMS320DM6437 evaluation module (EVM) with a complete suite of DaVinci development tools and software for less than $500.

Comprehensive Suite of Tools and Software for Less than $500 Supports Design on TI's newest TMS320DM643x DSP-based Digital Media Processors

Combined with the aggressive pricing and high-performance of the new DM643x processors, the new DM6437 DVDP provides developers with a comprehensive platform they can use throughout the entire design process to accelerate the development of digital video across a wide range of applications, including in-flight entertainment systems, IP net cameras, video phones and vision systems.

The DM643x digital media processors are the first DSP-only devices supporting DaVinci technology and are powerful enough to perform H.264 video encode at D1 resolution or to run the complete video, audio, networking for a target application like an IP-based Network Surveillance camera, all at a 50 percent cost reduction over TI’s previous DSP digital media processors.
