This paper describes how multimedia applications will be enabled in 2.5 and 3G wireless terminals thanks to the efficiency of the DSP core embedded in the TI OMAP platform. OMAP H/W architecture will be described with an emphasis on how multimedia applications (video, audio, speech) will benefit from this advanced architecture. The advantages provided by a combined RISC/DSP architecture, compared to a single RISC architecture, for multimedia mobile applications will be depicted.
To enable video applications in wireless mobile phones, TI2 introduces a new open multimedia application plaqorm. This platform will deliver the advanced processing required to make video functions a reality, without compromising the power eficiency essential to wireless communications devices. The paper will describe the Open Multimedia Application Plalgcorm architecture, emphasizing its strength for video applications. The DSP core3 used in this platform will then be detailed, with a special focus on new instructions provided by this new processor, which are especially suited to improve video processing algorihm execution.
