Texas Instruments announced a system-level solution to simplify customer development of digital video products that includes free optimized software codec bundles and production-quantity availability of several digital media processors based on DaVinci technology. With a self-serve software licensing process, customers designing with DaVinci technology have access to a suite of production-qualified audio and video bundles that can be integrated into their various video applications. TMS320DM355 codec bundle: In addition to the video codecs already included with the DM355 processor, developers wanting to enhance the acoustic performance of their designs can employ the audio codec bundle that includes MP3, WMA, MPEG-4 AAC LC and Acoustic Echo Cancellation.
TMS320DM643x codec bundle: Developers utilizing DM643x processors for cost-sensitive digital media applications, such as in-flight entertainment systems, machine-vision systems and robotics, have access to a rich software bundle that includes the Network Developer’s Kit (TCP/IP Stack), H.264 Base Profile (BP), MPEG-4 Simple Profile (SP), MPEG-2 decode, JPEG and G.711 codecs.
TMS320DM644x codec bundle: A bundle with MPEG-4 SP, MPEG-2 decode, JPEG and G.711 codecs enables developers of DM644x processor-based designs to easily integrate video capabilities in their digital video equipment, such as videophones, automotive infotainment products and streaming media applications.
TMS320DM646x codec bundle: For DM646x processor-based products, designers can take advantage of a bundle that incorporates G.711, H.264 BP, MPEG-2 decode and JPEG, allowing them to address high-definition (HD) challenges for commercial and consumers markets, such as media gateways, digital media adaptors, digital video recorders (DVR) and IP set-top boxes.
TMS320DM647 and TMS320DM648 codec bundle: Developers creating multi-channel video applications with a high-performance digital signal processor (DSP) can utilize the Network Developer’s Kit, H.264 BP, MPEG-4 SP and G.711 codecs.
Pricing and availability
The DM355, DM643x, DM644x, DM646x, DM647 and DM648 codec bundles are available for no charge with accepted legal terms. Future bundled production-versions for additional TI devices will be available throughout the year.
