Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Dedicated DSP accelerates video transcoding from
Texas Instruments (April 2006-), which we summarised at the time by saying "DSP-based system-on-chip is specifically tuned for real-time multiformat, high-definition video transcoding".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release DaVinci design speeds cameras to market from
Kane Computing: "eInfoChips reference design will allow OEMs to build smart IP surveillance cameras easily and quickly targeted for different applications".
In February 2007, we covered the news from Texas Instruments (April 2006-)
concerning its TMS320DM6437 digital video development platform
- take a look at Video development platform for DM643x processors
which says: "The TMS320DM6437 digital video development platform for DM643x digital media processors bundles a full TMS320DM6437 evaluation module with a full suite of DaVinci development tools and software".
Take a look also at the news release from Texas Instruments (April 2006-), Media processors enable IP videophones,
as well as Video processing engine provides driver assistance from Texas Instruments (April 2006-),
and Media processors raise videoconference definition from Texas Instruments (April 2006-).
