DaVinci TMS320DM816x



We have some questions based on the documentation on the website on DaVinci TMS320DM816x.
 
  1) The Product bulletin states "Industry’s highest performance video engine enables a near-zero latency". What is latency of 1080p60 encode/decode?
 
  2)  It also states "three simultaneous 1080p60 frames per second (fps) video streams". Does it support two bidirectional channels of HD 1080p?
 
  3)  Does the Hardware and/or SDK support (DVB/ASI) MPEG Transport streams?
 
  4) AES128 Encryption support?  Thanks.

  • Ignat,

    For some latency information please see the following thread.

  • Thanks Steve, but there seems to be an issue with the link.  Please provide another thread link.

  • Sorry, I didn't realize that it was an internal TI link.

    Here is a synopsys of the thread...

    For question related to Latency - Video Encoders (H.264 and Mpeg4/H.263) provided by TI on DM816x/DM814x are designed for low latency applications. These can take uncompressed data with a minimum unit of 1 MB row (16 lines) and can provide compressed bit-stream out with a minumum unit of 1 slice (compressed unit used for packets).
    Now based upon what is the slice rate - one can compute the latency at which compressed data will be available at encoder output
    Example - assume each frame has 20 slices then each slice is available at the output of the encoder at (33 ms / 20 + 0.3 ms intial overhead) time interval =~ 2 ms
    So you should be able to compute the latency for you application based upon slice rate.

    BR,
