DLP6500FYE: Run-Length Encoding Function for 8-bit Image

Part Number: DLP6500FYE

I am looking for a function to perform enhanced run length encoding (RLE) of 8bit images for the DLP LightCrafter 6500. I would like to use the output of the function to upload the image on the DMD using the "PATMEM_LOAD_DATA_MASTER" command. Is there an encoding function I can use, preferably optimized for Python?

Thank you!

  • Hi Arynn Gallegos,

    We don't have python function for RLE Encoding.

    You can look at Source code of GUI located at install directory.
    C:\Texas Instruments-DLP\DLPC900REF-SW-4.0.1\DLPC900REF-GUI\Sources

    C language function for RLE encoding is present here. Function "RLE_CompressBMPSpl()" in file compress.c does the Job of enhanced run length encoding (RLE).
    C:\Texas Instruments-DLP\DLPC900REF-SW-4.0.1\DLPC900REF-GUI\Sources\HiresLib

    GUI is build using QT Creator. 

    Thanks,
