New VCE6467 Video Communications Engine integrates Texas Instruments hardware and RADVISION software on a single chip for a variety of two-way HD video communications

DALLAS, June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Video communications designers can now benefit from an integrated video communications solution – pre-installed software on a video processor chip, available from a single vendor.  The VCE6467 Video Communications Engine from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) and RADVISION's Technology Business Unit (TBU) is a cost-conscious solution easily enabling a variety of two-way, live HD video communications applications, including video conferencing, telemedicine, digital signage and set-top boxes.  This inclusive solution reduces software integration time by more than 10 times the number of man hours normally required, which significantly speeds time to market.

Based on the DaVinci™ DM6467 video processor from TI, the VCE6467 comes pre-loaded with RADVISION's video communications software and allows HD video at 720p 30 frames per second (fps) using H.264 encoding and decoding for seamless two-way communication with low-latency.  Because the VCE6467 provides HD video, reduced latency and real-time communication, the end video applications allow realistic, nearly face-to-face communications, which eliminates the need for in-person meetings and helps save time and money on unnecessary travel. www.ti.com/vce6467prlp.
