Texas Instruments (TI) is sampling its latest DaVinci SoC, said to support 1080p video even with the demanding H264 codec. The TMS320DM365 has a new ISP (image signal processor), a 300MHz ARM926EJ-S core, plus multiple on-board peripherals, and is available with a Linux-ready evaluation kit (pictured).
The DaVinci architecture TMS320DM365 SoC (system-on-chip) is a higher end version of TI's sub-$10, 720p-capable *TMS320DM355*<http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS5620449448.html>which began sampling in September 2007, yet it targets many of the same applications. The SoC is aimed at media playback and camera-driven applications, including video doorbells, baby monitors, digital signage, and portable media players, says the company. The DM365 is claimed to save developers up to 25 percent on system costs compared, presumably, to piecing together CPU, image processors and accelerators, and codecs separately.
