Tóm tắt

This paper introduces newly developed hardware components and configuration aspects for a complex video-processing system based on PCI architectures. Originally designed for an immersive videoconference system, the modular, scalable and cost efficient multi-processor structure can also be applied to other demanding signal processing applications. Announcing the videoconference system, we derive and explain the structure of a PCI subsystem based on four TriMedia processors and an open interface architecture. First application results of the introduced components are presented regarding PCI compatibility, processing power as well as the system architecture for an immersive videoconference system.
