Description

Developers can now deliver crystal clear multi-format video at up to 1080p H.264 at 30fps (encode and

closed-looped decode) in their digital video designs without concerns of video format support, constrained

network bandwidth, limited system storage capacity or cost with the new TMS320DM369 DaVinci™ video

processors from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI).

The DM369 is uniquely capable of running TI’s 3rd Generation Noise Filtering technology while achieving

low light HD H.264 720p30 video compression and is pin-to-pin compatible with the DM365 processors,

using the same ARM926EJ-S core running at 432 MHz. This ARM9-based DM369 device supports

production-qualified H.264BP/MP/HP, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MJPEG and VC1/WMV9 codecs providing

customers with the flexibility to select the right video codec for their application. These codecs run on

independent coprocessors (HDVICP and MJCP) offloading all compression needs from the main ARM

core. This allows developers to obtain optimal performance from the ARM for their applications, including

their multi-channel, multi-stream and multi-format needs.

Video surveillance designers achieve greater compression efficiency to provide more storage without

straining the network bandwidth. Developers of media playback and camera-driven applications, such as

video doorbells, digital signage, digital video recorders, portable media players and more can take

advantage of the low power consumption and can ensure interoperability, as well as product scalability by

taking advantage of the full suite of codecs supported on the DM369.

Along with multi-format HD video, the DM369 also features a suite of peripherals saving developers on

system cost and complexity to enable a seamless interface to most additional external devices required

for video applications. The image sensor interface is flexible enough to support CCD, CMOS, and various

other interfaces such as BT.656, BT1120. The DM369 also offers a high level of integration with HD

display support, including three built-in 10-bit HD analog video digital-to-analog converters (DACs),

DDR2/mDDR, Ethernet MAC, USB 2.0, integrated audio, host port interface (HPI), analog-to digital

converter and many more features saving developers on overall system costs, as well as real estate on

their circuit boards allowing for a slimmer, sleeker design.
