Texas Instruments announced the availability of its digital signal processor (DSP) based platform of streaming media products and reference designs. The chips are designed for a myriad of home networking products such as portable handheld devices, streaming media televisions, digital media centers, set-top boxes and residential gateways. Such appliances would enable consumers to manage, store, display and distribute several media formats inside the digital home. The DSPs decode locally, making the content format virtually invisible to the consumer and expanding the inherent functionality of the streaming media appliance. TI announced reference designs with numerous partners.
