Success Stories
Center for Development of Telematics (CDOT) is deveoping the next generation secure video phone based on the TI AM572x SOC. This SOC comes with a High-Definition Image and Video Accelerator (IVA-HD) for encdding/decoding and a Video Processing Engine (VPE) for scaling, color space conversion, and de-interlacing. CouthIT’s contribution included enhancing their SIP client to add support for hardware accelerator based video coding, scaling, and color space conversion to achieve real-time performance at HD resolutions. Further, CouthIT also analyze the end-to-end flow of video and voice data and optimized the overall system performance for multi-party conference calls.
