3.13.1 Video Capture Channel x Status Register (VCASTAT, VCBSTAT)

The video capture channel x status register (VCASTAT, VCBSTAT) indicates the current status of the video capture channel. The VCxSTAT is shown in Figure 3–29 and described in Table 3–14.

In BT.656 capture mode, the VCXPOS and VCYPOS bits indicate the HCOUNT and VCOUNT values, respectively, to track the coordinates of the most recently received pixel. The F1C, F2C, and FRMC bits indicate comple- tion of fields or frames and may need to be cleared by the DSP for capture to continue, depending on the selected frame capture operation (see section 3.4.1).

In raw data and TSI modes, the VCXPOS and VCYPOS bits reflect the lower and upper 12 bits, respectively, of the 24-bit data counter that tracks the number of received data samples. The FRMC bit indicates when an entire data packet has been received and may need to be cleared by the DSP for capture to continue, depending on the selected frame operation (see section 3.7.1 and section 3.8.5).

TMS320C64x DSP specifications

The TMS320C64x DSP family from Texas Instruments represents a significant milestone in the realm of digital signal processing. Launched as part of the C6000 series, the C64x DSPs are designed for high-performance applications requiring intensive computational capabilities, such as telecommunications, audio processing, video processing, and industrial control systems.

One of the standout features of the TMS320C64x DSP is its VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) architecture, which allows for an exceptionally high level of parallelism. This architecture enables multiple instructions to be executed simultaneously, boosting the overall throughput and allowing for complex data processing tasks to be completed more quickly than with conventional DSPs.

The C64x DSPs also boast an impressive clock frequency range, typically up to 1 GHz, delivering substantial computational power for real-time processing goals. Additionally, these processors feature extensive on-chip memory, including L1 and L2 cache, which significantly enhances data access speeds and helps reduce bottlenecks during high-demand processing tasks.

Another key characteristic of the TMS320C64x family is its support for advanced instruction sets optimized for specific applications. These include SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) capabilities, allowing for efficient handling of large datasets often involved in multimedia processing or complex signal manipulation.

For connectivity, these DSPs often integrate advanced interfaces such as EMIF (External Memory Interface) and McBSP (Multichannel Buffered Serial Port), facilitating seamless interaction with a variety of peripheral devices. This ensures that the DSP can suit different application needs and integrate well into various system architectures.

Texas Instruments emphasizes low power consumption with the C64x DSPs, making them ideal for portable or energy-sensitive applications. Advanced power management techniques and technologies, such as dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, are incorporated to further enhance energy efficiency without compromising performance.

In summary, the Texas Instruments TMS320C64x DSP family stands out due to its high-performance capabilities driven by a VLIW architecture, high clock speeds, extensive memory options, a rich instruction set, and advanced connectivity features, all while maintaining power efficiency. These characteristics make it an exceptional choice for developers looking to integrate robust digital signal processing into their applications, whether in telecommunications, audio and video processing, or embedded control systems.
