About the TI DM8168 category

A dedicated space for the TI DaVinci DM8168 digital media platform, focusing on massive multi-channel video ingestion, heterogeneous coprocessing, and hardware-accelerated media pipelines.

  • Three-Tier Compute Core: Integrates an ARM Cortex-A8 (1.2 GHz), a TMS320C674x DSP (1 GHz), and HDVICP2 hardware accelerators on a single die.

  • 3-Channel 1080p60 Encoding: Simultaneously processes up to 3 concurrent 1080p60 channels (or 12x 720p30 streams) without penalizing main CPU resources.

  • HDVPSS Subsystem: Directs massive pixel ingestion and display routes using dual independent 165-MHz capture paths and an integrated HDMI 1.3 transmitter.

  • SATA & PCIe Gen2 Storage: Feeds high-volume security DVR arrays via an onboard SATA 3.0 Gbps controller and a native dual-lane PCIe Gen2 interface.

  • Dual 32-bit DDR3 Interface: Eliminates pixel latency bottlenecks using a wide memory matrix with a Dynamic Memory Manager for zero-overhead hardware image rotation.
