SBC6446 - Production Ready Single Board Computer

SBC6446 Single Board Computer is a board level product. It does not come with display, development tools or any software except the onboard Empower Technologies’ LEOs (Linux Embedded Operating System) for DM6446 operating software.
It is a high performance single board computer that is designed to handle digital video and connectivity driven applications in the mobile, set-top-box, and telematic markets. The SBC6446 is powered by Texas Instruments DaVinci dual core TMS320DM6446 SoC and Empower Technologies’ LEOs software. The software and hardware are designed to run on DM6441, DM6443 and DM6446.
The 4.3” WQVGA (480×272) landscape TFT LCD touch panel and the on-board 3 Megapixel digital camera are optional on this SBC. With the touch panel display, it is ready for 16:9 widescreen movie presentations. The SBC6446 is the world’s first DM6446 SBC available that can display the video image from either the composite video input jack or the on-board digital camera on it’s 4.3” LCD. It also captures video into digital format through the powerful embedded DSP inside the TI DaVinci processor. Digital video can be played back as well as displayed on the LCD or output through the composite video jack.
The video processing power enabled by the video/imaging coprocessor and the C64x+ DSP core in the DM6446 is the most powerful feature of this target platform. It provides major technical advantages in video/image/audio encoding/decoding, video analytics, image processing and sound processing. These technical advantages can be applied in the fields of networked IP security surveillance systems, wired/wireless networked digital media streaming systems, automobile infotainment systems, portable navigation multimedia devices, and videophones. The SBC6446 allows digital media applications to be launched more easily and quickly. Applications can be written with easy access via ARM9 core to the C64x+ DSP core. No detailed DSP knowledge is required to access DSP functions.
