The built-in 32 TI C66x DSP cores and 4 ARM Cortex-A15 cores offer unrivalled processing capabilities for data and control plane processing while the reprogrammable Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA device adds flexibility to the design by allowing the inclusion of customized hardware functions. Video acquisition is achieved through SDI-3G input/output and HDMI input ports facilitating connectivity to external devices for video processing. A unique standalone operation mode enables the DSP-8684 to be operated as an autonomous embedded system without the involvement of an additional host processor card or motherboard, allowing highly cost effective deployment. An innovative and unique, dedicated board-to-board interconnect offers the possibility of synchronizing multiple DSP-8684 cards over dedicated high-speed serial interfaces. All these unprecedented features make the DSP-8684 ideal for new video standards (such as HEVC/H.265) in broadcasting, machine vision, medical imaging, cloud computing, and mission critical applications among others.
