Texas Instruments has added the TMS320DM8168 DaVinci digital media processor and the software compatible, power-efficient TMS320DM8148 DaVinci digital media processor. The DM8168 offers three times the video streaming capability over competing solutions with up to three simultaneous 1080p60 fps video streams, 12 simultaneous 720p30 fps video streams or a combination of lower resolution streams. Customers can build video-centric systems that capture, encode, decode and analyse 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 suitable for multi-channel HD video surveillance systems, video conferencing systems, media hubs and servers and video broadcasting systems. The DM8148 offers a single, high-performance, 1080p60 fps video stream, three simultaneous 720p30 fps video streams or multiple lower resolution streams at 3W. It also includes cutting-edge display and analytics capabilities, similar to the DM8168 and can be used for power-sensitive, consumer and medical video applications requiring fewer video streams, such as Skype video cameras, interactive digital signage, video surveillance DVRs or IP net cams, streaming media players and network projectors.
