Thanks for pointing this out. So far, I was looking at TI Image library, for the DFT part, and that was pretty fast. But then comes zigzag, quantization, huffman encoding...

Yeah, you're right. Most probably this will be the real bottleneck. I need to study more deeply the dma engines.. Thanks for your infos!

TI have a demo running on a 600MHz DM642 performing 4 simultaneous JPEG compressions on D1 images captured from the video ports. I don't know how this translates to your problem, but it sounds feasible. One issue is how you are going to get the uncompressed images into the DSP memory - video port raw mode/PCI/etc?? You may run out of DMA bandwidth before CPU. Cheers mark-r -- "Let's meet the panel. You couldn't ask for four finer comedians - so that answers your next question..." -- Humphrey Lyttleton

Hey all...

Can  a DM642 (or a DM643) can handle lossy JPEG compression at 1024 x 768, 
YUV 8 bit 4:2:2, at 30 fps ?

Surely can do D1. But SVGA ?

If yes, will it do even at 500 Mhz ?

For example, a Blackfin most probably can't handle that, even the dual core 
(from comments from some users).

I know that the data flow itself its a tough job, but I need to start 
somewhere...
