HDMI and/or 3G-SDI interfacing with Keystone II

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: 66AK2H14, TMS320DM6467

Hi,

I am hoping to use a 66AK2H14 device for realtime video encoding and decoding, with ethernet transport. The chip looks ideal except that I need to get the video in and out of it somehow.

This applications brief seems to suggest that cameras/video can be easily interfaced to the K2H and K2E series:

however the following application report (HDMI Transmitter/Receiver Support on TMS320DM6467) requires a video port interface (VPIF) which the K2H/K2E don't have.

Has anyone successfully interfaced a K2H/K2E to a HDMI/3G-SDI transmitter/receiver, or got any suggestions of how it could be done? (using an FPGA is not an option for me).

Thanks and best regards,

Kieran.

Hi Kieran, Welcome to the TI E2E forum. I hope you will find many good answers here and in the TI.com documents and in the TI Wiki Pages (for processor issues). Be sure to search those for helpful information and to browse for the questions others may have asked on similar topics (e2e.ti.com). We will get back to you shortly. Thank you.

Hi Kieran, I am not sure about your final application and use case. But maybe using another TI "DM" SoC could work for you. For example DM8148

As a reference, below an E2E referren to DM8148 + C6678. In this particular case DM8148 was used for VPIF and it's A8 as a host, where Multicore C6678 DSPs were used for encoding.
