Video Communications IC supports 2-way HD applications.

Press Release Summary:



Based on DaVinci(TM) DM6467 video processor and pre-loaded with RADVISION video communications software, VCE6467 Video Communications Engine enables 720p HD video at 30 fps using H.264 encoding/decoding. This, in addition to G.711 audio and A/V synchronization, enables realistic, nearly face-to-face communications for end video applications. Other features include optional multi-protocol support (SIP, H.323) and media quality framework - SVC, bandwidth management, packet loss resilience.



Original Press Release:



New VCE6467 Video Communications Engine Integrates Texas Instruments Hardware and RADVISION Software on a Single Chip for a Variety of Two-Way HD Video Communications



Cost-effective, complete hardware + software solution provides 10 times reduction in number of integration man hours, allowing for faster time to market

DALLAS -- Video communications designers can now benefit from an integrated video communications solution - pre-installed software on a video processor chip, available from a single vendor. The VCE6467 Video Communications Engine from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE:TXN) and RADVISION's Technology Business Unit (TBU) is a cost-conscious solution easily enabling a variety of two-way, live HD video communications applications, including video conferencing, telemedicine, digital signage and set-top boxes. This inclusive solution reduces software integration time by more than 10 times the number of man hours normally required, which significantly speeds time to market.

Based on the DaVinci(TM) DM6467 video processor from TI, the VCE6467 comes pre-loaded with RADVISION's video communications software and allows HD video at 720p 30 frames per second (fps) using H.264 encoding and decoding for seamless two-way communication with low-latency. Because the VCE6467 provides HD video, reduced latency and real-time communication, the end video applications allow realistic, nearly face-to-face communications, which eliminates the need for in-person meetings and helps save time and money on unnecessary travel. www.ti.com/vce6467prlp.
