Up to Speed on Videophones
The typical IP video phone is a compact, all-in-one desktop
phone that takes the complexity out of video conferencing
and allows free person-to-person video calls anywhere in the
world over a broadband IP connection. These products provide
educational environments with the tools to train and educate
more efficiently and avoid the burden of travel expenses.
As IP network deployments continue to grow, there is a demand
for additional features and integration of video streaming
capabilities in a cost-effective manner. TI's offers these
features in its complete Videophone Development Platform (VDP).
The VDP solution includes two DSP-based boards, two CCD cameras,
two 5-inch LCD displays and two phone keypads and all necessary
software and documentation. Find out more today.

Digital video is being adopted in an increasing range of applications
such as video telephony, security/surveillance, digital television
and more. Video compression is an essential enabler for these
applications, and an increasing number of video codec industry
standards and proprietary algorithms are available to make
it practical to store and transmit video in digital form.
Appealing to students and educators, this white paper provides
an overview of the different compression standards and highlights
where they are best suited. Learn more about the future of
digital video today.

PUCRS and TI DSP Products: A History of Success
In the early 80s TI promoted a seminar in order to launch
the first DSP processor. Pontifical
Catholic University of Rio Grande Do Sul (PUCRS) attended
that seminar and since then have been using TI DSP processors,
starting with the TMS320C10 DSP EVM. PUCRS created its first
specialization course with a profile in DSP and Telecommunications.
Following this innovative TI approach, PUCRS has included
majors in Automation and Control, Telecommunications and Computing
in the Electrical Engineering Course.
Currently, with TI University Program’s support, the
Electrical Engineering Department offers a wide range of DSP-related
courses and labs such as Digital Signal Processing Lab, Digital
Signal Processing Applications course, Automation and Control
Lab and more. All of these courses use TI DSP kits such as
starter kits and EVMs as teaching tools. They span a wide
range of DSP platforms including TMS320C6000™, TMS320C5000™
and TMS320C2000™.
Now 57 years old, PUCRS has earned great respect in the academic
community with its solid educational profile and innovative
vision in technology related courses. Undergraduate and graduate
courses in Electrical Engineering offer many technological
projects and research partnership with enterprises currently
in progress. In all of these, the TI products and tools and
the University Program play a main role, providing technical
support, quality and flexible components and satisfaction
for all users.
