Posted by Ken Cheung in DSP on Thursday, March 5, 2009

The TI TMS320DM365 is a digital media processor based on DaVinci technology. The DM365 includes production-qualified H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MJPEG and VC1 codecs, an integrated image signal processing (ISP) solution for intelligent video processing capabilities and a suite of on-board peripherals, saving developers up to 25 percent on their system cost. The TMX320DM365 processor is available for sampling and is priced at USD $37.85 (100 units).

Texas Instruments DM365 Features

  • ARM926EJ-S core delivers up to 300 MHz while offloading the video encode/decode functions to the integrated HD video accelerators for optimal system performance
  • Multi-format, multi-rate HD video with H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MJPEG and VC1 codecs provides ultimate video flexibility, ensures compatibility with legacy codecs and the ability to expand a product portfolio on one platform
  • On-chip ISP with noise filtering, video stabilization, face detection, auto white balance, auto focus, auto exposure and edge enhancement allows for image improvements and added intelligent video processing
  • ISP eliminates need for customers to create custom algorithms in-house or purchase expensive optics to achieve high-quality images
  • Integrated peripherals (EMAC, USB 2.0 Phy, 16-bit DDR2, voice codecs, real time clock and three 10-bit DACs) for smaller board size and system cost savings of up to 25 percent
  • Royalty-free, production-ready codec bundles (MP3, G.711, H.264, MPEG-4 and JPEG) and premium audio and video bundles (AAC, WMA and AEC, MPEG-2, VC1/WMV9) decrease design complexity and accelerate time-to-market

The DM365 is optimized for video security applications by supporting 1080p H.264 at 10 fps to provide high-quality video with greater compression efficiency. As a result, developers attain increased video storage without straining network bandwidth. In addition, by having a built-in ISP with capabilities including face detection, developers can focus on differentiating their products with truly unique smart video features, such as enabling intelligent digital signage to detect its viewers and display relevant advertising or video doorbells to instantly recognize family members and automatically unlock the door.
