Multicore Mix: Video killed the radio star…

 … and now it's coming for the cloud, too! There is a crazy statistic that over 72 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute. We all know that video traffic is dominating all forms of network transmission throughout the world – but what exactly does this have to do with multicore HYPERLINK? Turns out it has everything to do with multicore – every piece of video that gets sent, received, edited, etc. needs to be processed. At a minimum, this means compression and decompression but it can also include many other processing steps such as noise reduction, analytics, and transcoding. Layered on top of this is a multitude of coding formats like MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, H.264, X.264 and HEVC, which support a multitude of formats like Standard Definition, 720p High Definition, 1080p High Definition in combination with frame rates like 24, 25, 30, 60 and higher. Put this together and you get a system that needs to be very flexible yet still provide enough processing power to manage the massive amount of video traffic in today’s networks. So, where can you find a device that provides this required flexibility with high performance? Well here at Texas Instruments of course!

This month we’re highlighting Video Infrastructure as our application of the month. We encourage you to take a look at how our multicore DSP and SoC devices are helping solve some of the challenges facing the video market today.
