  2. What is DaVinci Technology? • Texas Instrument’s DaVinci Technology is a new software technology that has combined software, hardware, and development tools to form a digital signal processing (DSP) system that enhances digital multimedia.

  3. What is Digital Video? • A type of video recording system that works by using a digital, rather than analog representation of the video signal. • Digital refers to a system that uses numbers, especially binary numbers for input, processing, transmission, storage, or display, rather than a continuous spectrum of values like the analog system.

  4. What is DSP? • Digital Signal Processor • The study of signals in a digital representation and the processing methods of these signals.

  5. Why was it developed? • To eliminate CODEC errors between different processors. • To bring digital video to the component level, enabling developers to introduce digital video to an application without requiring developers to program a single line of DSP code.

  6. Multimedia CODECs • JPEG • MP3 • MPEG4 • AAC • WMV9/VC9 • H.263

  7. Four Technological Areas • Optimized Application Software (API) • Development Tools • Hardware • DaVinci Technology Support System

  8. Optimized Application Software (API) • Simplifies the specific low level details of video CODEC. • Enables developers to use the appropriate CODECs with no changes in their upper level layer application code. • Reduce external user work.

  9. Hardware • Systems-on-a-chip (SoC)- functions of digital and analog signals integrated into a single chip. • Acts as a connector between the software and hardware of a processor.

  10. SoC Design Flow

  11. Development Tools • Dual-core architecture that includes an ARM core and a high performance open-ended DSP platform.

  12. Support System • Focuses on product from beginning stages to end.

  13. Impact on the Future • Decrease time-to-market turnover of new products. • Easier to upgrade systems so there is no difference between two processors.
