Hi DSPians, I am a newbie with DSP , but will be taking DSP specialization as my major this coming semester. I wish to get myself a Starter kit so that I can mess with it during the late nights. My focus is in image/video processing . After reading a few datasheet TMS320C6416 DSP Starter Kit (DSK) seems to be my choice right now , as it has support for video input, or is it not ?. Do I need to get anything else besides this starter kit to get me up and running? The starter kit comes with the "expressDSP for Dummies" title, which I guess could be helpful to a dummy right me..:- D Any suggestions or recommendations is appreciated. Thnks |

I guess you have got the wrong impression. The DSK doesn't have video input/output ports etc. Use the DM642 EVM for that purpose. But that would be many times costlier.

Hi Piyush,
Thank you for pointing that up. I was confused indeed.
DM642 EVM is to expensive for me to purchase. How can I
get live video input for the TMS320C6416 kit at minimum cost for a
student ? Need not have to be via a Video decoder but maybe USB or Firewire
cameras ? Any low cost Third party board or daughter Board ? I am
still surfing the net for options, not much low cost stuff out there.
If it is still too expensive, I guess I will have to work with still images
from bitmap files as a start. Can I do that easily?
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

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.

Hi "Non Exiting Entity", I have seen a couple of other boards too, for video development, like one of Ateme, but none of them would be much cheaper than the EVM. I don't know any Video specific daughter cards for dsk, but better ask TI about that. As for development using bitmaps. You should be able to do that easily. Even for video there is not much of a problem with dsk till you don't want live capture of video. For a start you can feed prerecorded yuv/rgb files (using file i/o or rtdx) to your algo instead. That should be easy. Display of picture in Code Composer itself also is pretty good. See Graph menu. As for fixed vs floating, it depends on the algorithms and development time you have, but for most applications/algorithms fixed-point should be good enough.

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.
