Newest video processors from TI transform the video experience with 3x greater HD video processing performance
Texas Instruments Incorporated expands its DaVinci™ digital media processor platform by introducing its high-performance TMS320DM8168 DaVinci digital media processor and the software compatible, power-efficient TMS320DM8148 DaVinci digital media processor.
With these industry-leading video processors, TI is helping provide life-like
video communications to bring people together, increase public safety, enable
real-time automotive vision systems to support safer driving, deliver the
highest-quality entertainment to consumers and more.

The high-performance DM8168 DaVinci digital media processor
offers three times the video
streaming capability over competing solutions with up to three simultaneous
1080p60 frames per second (fps) video streams, 12 simultaneous 720p30 fps
video streams or a combination of lower resolution streams. This enables
customers to build video-centric systems that capture, encode, decode and
analyze multiple video streams simultaneously on up to three independent
displays. It also concurrently allows customers to differentiate their
products with
advanced analytics capabilities. It is ideal for multi-channel HD video
surveillance systems, video conferencing systems, media hubs and servers and
video broadcasting systems.

The lower-power DM8148 DaVinci digital media processor
offers a single, high-performance, 1080p60 fps video stream, three
simultaneous 720p30 fps video streams or multiple lower resolution streams
at 3 watts. It also includes cutting-edge display and analytics
capabilities, similar to the DM8168 DaVinci digital media processor, and
it’s perfect for power-sensitive, consumer and medical video applications
requiring fewer video streams. These applications include Skype™ video
cameras, interactive digital signage, video surveillance DVRs or IP net
cams, streaming media players and network projectors.
Easy product migration options between the DM8168 digital media processor to
the power-efficient, software compatible DM8148 digital media processor allow
customers to create multiple, unique products quickly and easily within the
DaVinci digital media platform, utilizing TI’s EZ software development kit
(SDK), allowing software code reuse and customization via a single software
investment. Customers can also use the same EZ SDK from TI for applications not
needing video processing to migrate to the pin-for-pin compatible Sitara™ ARM®
MPU or the C6-Integra™ DSP + ARM platforms to further leverage a single hardware
and software investment.
“The world wants HD video on every device imaginable, and we are prepared
to provide it to them,” said Niels Anderskouv, vice president, digital
signal processing systems, TI. “In the future, Facebook will no longer be
the primary means of connecting with people virtually. TI is an integral part of
the technology innovations that will further bring people together – with
real-time video conferencing today and 3D video and gesturing technologies
tomorrow.”
“Quality, life-like video experiences are revolutionizing the way our
world communicates,” says Jim McGregor, analyst, In-Stat. “The
advancements TI is making in video will help shape the future of many video
innovations. TI doesn’t use third-party technology to enable this cutting-edge
video. They develop their own proprietary video technology, which is what
differentiates TI from the competition. Innovations like these products
announced today are what the industry expects from TI – and demands for the
game-changing video products on the horizon.”
