AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on interfacing a TI C6xxx DSP with a PC for video processing in a final year project. The user seeks advice on converting MPEG video into a suitable bitstream for the DSP, as this aspect is crucial despite not being the main focus of the project. MATLAB is suggested as a potential tool for addressing this conversion challenge. Additionally, links to relevant TI specifications and MATLAB resources are provided to assist with the project. Effective interfacing is essential for successful video processing with the DSP.

Hey guys ..

Been ages since I've been here but ya.

Anyway .. I'm doing my final year project at moment (wow .. i like registered on the forum back in my first year I think .. lol .. now I'm almost done).

Im using a TI C6xxx series DSP for it and I'm going to feed video into it. Now, my project really is the DSP work .. I;m not wrried about the MPEG encoding blah blah ..

I want to know how to actually interface the DSP and my PC. Obviously, I can't send the MPEG straight into the DSP. Is there any standard type software that will convert an MPEG movie into a bitstream so to allow me to send into the DSP>

This is the part of my project that I'm not really suppose to focus on but hey, it needs to be done and i was hoping somebody could help me put with it.

Thankeee kindly:biggrin:

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
