Z3 DM355 Boards

There is a module shaped board Z3-DM355-MOD that can be either plugged into the Z3 application backplane Z3-DM355-APP or into a custom design.

Z3 tells about the application backplane:

Z3 's low-power DM355 multimedia application board is used in conjunction with our Z3-DM355-MOD low power module based upon Texas Instruments DM355 DaVinci series processor. Our Z3-DM355-APP application board is 100mm x130mm in size.

Z3 offers open-source Linux or Monte Vista Linux in addition to multi-media framework based upon open-source Gstreamer. The module contains options for additional audio codecs, image codecs and application software.

Applications for the Z3-DM355-APP-01 available but not limited to are: IP Camera, photoframe, medical and industrial video capture/playback applications. - Source: HD DM355 Application

APPRO DM355 IP Networking Camera

This is a web cam hardware design including a very sensitive and flexible 5 mega pixel imaging sensor from Aptina. It served as an early access platform for many TI customers.

VCT IP CAM

This design is based upon the APPRO IP CAM. It further includes a signal splitter for the digital sensor data so that a second processor of Type DM6435 could be integrated. The determined purpose of that add on board is high performance video analytics or an alternate encoding format whilst the original DM355 will mainly can concentrate on the built in video compression duty. As both devices are programmable its possible to adapt this standard role assignment in a wide variety.
