  • Bijective BWT (7 Comments)

    David Scott has written a bijective BWT transform, which brings all the advantages of bijectiveness to BWT based compressors. Among other things, making BWT more suitable for compression-before-encryption and also give (slightly) better compression.

  • Asymmetric Binary System (113 Comments)

    Jarek Duda’s “Asymmetric Binary System” promises to be an alternate to arithmetic coding, having all the advantages, but being much simpler. Matt has coded a PAQ based compressor using ABS for back-end encoding. Update: Andrew Polar has written an alternate implementation of ABS.

TI Announces all-in-one Digital Video Technology

Posted by Sachin Garg on 14th September 2005 | Permanent Link

PC World reports that Texas Instruments announced new DaVinci technology, describing it as a one-stop solution for the creation of sophisticated devices with a wide range of video features.

In its ability to support multiple features, DaVinci technology resembles TI’s OMAP platform for cell phones, which integrates phone functionality with support for cameras, digital audio players, and the like. “DaVinci will do for digital video what OMAP did for mobile phones,” TI president and chief executive Rich Templeton predicted. “It’s what the consumer electronics industry has been waiting for.”

DaVinci consists of a family of processors with integrated software and development tools that support multiple video applications. Hardware designers who currently have to cobble together several processors to create an innovative multipurpose device should be able to use a DaVinci chip instead, picking and choosing from a menu of supported, production-ready features and thereby saving time and money.
