EtMedia is looking to implement a h.264 1080P software encoder using one of the TI DaVici DSP family of products..

Can you answer the following questions:

1) What DSP and SDK do you recommend?

2) Is there an encoder lib including in one of the SDK, if so what is the cost of the SDK, if not, what is the cost of the encoder lib only?

2) Any royality fee for the use of the encoder?

3) Does the H.264 encoder support 1080P HD? If so, which profile is supported, baseline or main ?

Without fully knowing your end application and use case, I can only suggest, as a start, to look at the dm368 product. It does have a supported SDK that supports H.264 encode @ 1080P HD.

Both BP and MP are supported. The encoder is royality free.

More information about the dm368 and SDK can be found at the following links

This link will provide you more information other other DaVinci family of products

Questions you should consider when making a selection are:

Will your product require high CPU utilization (i.e. for application)

Do it require multiple encode channels.

Cost vs Performances.
