Bangalore: Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) announced a new digital media processor, the TMS320DM335 device, for applications driven by advanced image capture and display requirements. The company said that consumers will now be able to have enhanced interaction with their electronic devices such as Internet radio, e-books, video surveillance products and digital telescopes through feature-rich graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Powered by an ARM926EJ-S core up to 270 MHz, the DM335 digital media processor integrates a video processing subsystem (VPSS) so developers can add high-definition video display at 720p on their new class of portable applications.
It is claimed that the new digital media processor is scalable with the DM355 processor and Digital Video Evaluation Board (DVEVM), allowing customers to re-use both hardware and software designs for their new DM335 processor focused projects. The DM335 processor also offers a compelling solution for customers creating advanced user interface display applications that do not require video compression and decompression for a fraction of the cost.
For crisp and vibrant display images, the DM335 processor support CCD/CMOS image sensors, resize capability and video analytics. The 1280-by-960-pixel digital LCD connection runs on a 75-MHz pixel clock and supports TV composite output for increased expandability.
Stephanie Evans, DM3x marketing manager, TI, said, “Developers are constantly challenged to invent new portable devices that have sophisticated capture and display functionalities without adding more cost to their overall system design. The DM335 digital media processors solves this obstacle by providing multiple display and imaging options that help customers launch their innovative products in the expanding video and audio markets that require smaller display and user interfaces.”
