Minimizing the complexity of software integration with a uniform open source multimedia framework, Texas Instruments has announced a new GStreamer plug-in for developers designing with OMAP35x processors and digital media processors based on DaVinci technology. With the new GStreamer plug-in, embedded Linux developers can leverage an open source library to incorporate audio and video playback, audio and video synchronization and recording capabilities into their designs.

The plug-in helps optimize systems to utilize the hardware accelerators or the digital signal processor (DSP) for processing-intensive tasks, such as video and audio decoding/encoding. This frees the ARM® to handle other tasks so developers can deliver a feature-rich multimedia experience with improved Web browsing and video streaming through products such as media players, video editors and capture encoders. Additionally, the plug-in builds on top of TI’s digital video software development kits (DVSDK) to leverage TI’s codec engine. The same plug-in code can be re-used across TI’s OMAP35x, TMS320DM355, TMS320DM644x and TMS320DM6467 processors.
