Attend
the University Program Seminars in Turkey and Hungary
Make plans to attend one of the upcoming TI DSP University Program
overview seminars featuring TI’s European University Program
manager, Robert Owen. This forum will provide you with the opportunity
to discuss specific university needs and activities and find
out how your research projects can receive support from TI in
the form of a high-performance DSP platform, analog products
and TI’s MSP430 low-power microcontroller family.
This meeting is of greatest value to postgraduate academics
who are already teaching real-time DSP or plan to do so. It
is also of interest to researchers who wish to use DSP platforms
in their work. This seminar is NOT for commercial organizations.

Videophones Poised to Be the
Next Big Thing – Get Started Today!
Videophone technology has been around for quite some time, but
videophone use has not been widespread yet. Fortunately, several
converging factors, such as TI lowering the overall Videophone
Development Platform (VDP) system cost, are changing this to
enable videophones to break out from a small niche and become
prevalent over the next few years. TI’s new complete VDP
solution improves quality and integration, and it lowers system
cost, bringing consumer broadband videophones to market faster
with a complete development platform for designing point-to-point
IP-based videophone systems. The VDP includes two DSP-based
boards, two CCD cameras, two 5-inch LCD displays and two phone
keypads as well as the software and documentation to get you
started.
- Download the article "Videophones
poised for take-off" to find out how these devices are
going mainstream.
- Visit the VDP
Web site for more details on the complete TI solution.
- Download this white
paper today for an overview of the market trends driving
the demand for video telephony as well as the components
and system considerations for building IP videophones.

University
Spotlight: Students of All Levels Benefit from China’s
Southeast University TI DSP Lab
Students at China’s Southeast
University (SEU) can take advantage of undergraduate and
graduate courses such as: Digital Signal Processing, Design
and Practice of Digital Systems, Speech Signal Processing, and
Image Processing. Undergraduate students are required to have
an experiment lesson on basic DSP knowledge and can choose a
particular DSP design as their diploma project. Master’s
students focus their main graduate research work on long-term
DSP application projects, while doctorate candidates concentrate
more on DSP theories and algorithms. The required courses in
the TI DSP lab include Digital Signal Processing and Design
of Integrated Lessons.
“The TI DSP lab focuses on audio/video signal processing,
multimedia communications, wireless communications and real-time
DSP system implementation,” said SEU Prof. Zhen-yang Wu.
“Many projects have been accomplished since the lab was
set up, including H.264 image coding and decoding, MPEG-2 AAC
audio coding, direct transcoding algorithm between G.723.1 and
G.729 and its DSP implementation.”
SEU
utilizes teaching tools such as Code Composer Studio software,
and TMS320C54x and TMS320C64x hardware. More specifically, TMS320C5416
DSK is used to develop projects about audio such as speech coding
based on G.729, and the two DM6416 and DM642 evaluating boards
are used together with 510 JTAG emulators in a project of video
coding according to the H.264 recommendation.
Applications
of DSP are the most popular courses among SEU students. And
professors find that students who have a good knowledge of DSP
theories and who have skills on DSP program design and implementation
are also highly sought after in the job market. Additionally,
SEU graduates who have conducted their own DSP field research
regard their education as a key success factor in acquiring
a satisfying job after graduation, plus they find the research
very useful in their professional work. |
