Solution designed for Texas Instruments' TMS320DM648 DSP
The DM648 evaluation module (EVM) is a solution designed for Texas Instruments' TMS320DM648 digital signal processor (DSP) offering developers significant performance enhancements and price benefits over previous generations of such processors. Digital signal processors (DSP) also offer developers significantly more programmability and flexibility than other processors (such as FPGA and ASSP), too rigid for complex, evolving video systems. The EVM integrates hardware and driver software ideal for the efficient development of multichannel video security systems, digital video recording, and high-performance imaging.
With the performance improvements and highly differentiated functionalities offered by Texas Instruments' DM648 DSP, this EVM allows developers to create sophisticated video systems with increased simultaneous multichannel processing and a lower cost per channel.
