TI and Microsoft Show Real-Time, Broadcast-Quality, Embedded WM9 Encoding

Microsoft and Texas Instruments demonstrated a real-time, broadcast-quality, main profile embedded Windows Media Series 9 video encoding solution on TI’s software-programmable 600 MHz digital signal processor (DSP). The WM9 encoding solution delivers real-time, full D1 (720 x 480) resolution at 30 frames-per-second. It could be used in high-end digital media centers for digital media compression, streaming video transmission, and HDD storage. Future plans include support for high-definition Windows Media Series 9 codec technology.
