DSPC-8661-PCXE User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
Design with TI TMS320DM8168 SoC, DSPC-8661-PCXE is a full-functional video
processing platform with 16-ch composite video and audio inputs based on standard
half-length PCIe board form factor. The board supports H.264 / MJPEG / RAW
encode / decode up to D1 resolution at real-time frame rate (30/25fps) for all chan-
nels simultaneously. The HDMI provides up to 1080p 60fps video / audio outputs that
fulfills the high-definition display requirements. Equipped with a high-performance
C674X Digital Signal Processor (DSP), DSPC-8661-PCXE can afford a system's
host processing by executing image enhancement and video analytics programs.
The I2C and UART interfaces are designed for extending the control and indicator
functions like RS-485 and DIO (on the optional DIO & Control Board). Furthermore,
the versatile peripherals of Giga LAN, SATA and USB ports enriches the data com-
munication, storage as well as user interface functions while the device works at
standalone mode. With an easy-to-use software development kit (SDK), the DSPC-
8661-PCXE is an ideal solution for system integrators to implement diverse video-
processing related applications that fits a broad spectrum of customer requirements.
