Hello Jeff, I am also working on DSK6711 to develop MPEG 4 Simple Profile Video Encoder/Decoder (concurrent) on TMS320C67x. May I know which IDK you are referring to you in your e-mail below and where can we get it from ? I would be deeply obliged.

Can I do that easily? Suggest to use DSK C6711 and IDK daughtercard, which has both video in and out. Cost is much lower. Since you are a poor student, there should be no problem to use C6711 (or C6211) for your image processing project instead of C6416. -Jeff > Bythe way, is it better for me to get the fixed point or floating point > DSP? in image processing contex that is. > > Thank you > NEE > > piyush kaul <> wrote: > I guess you have got the wrong impression.
