News Release: February 17, 2005
TI Said: Real-Time Video Phone is Here
Jerky video and high prices associated with videophones will become a thing of the past, as Texas Instruments Inc. hopes
to bring real-time, high-quality consumer videophones to the home.
The Dallas-based company has partnered with Wintech Digital Systems Technology Corp. to release the Videophone Development
Platform (VDP), what the duo describes as a complete development platform for designing point-to-point IP-based videophone systems.
TI is banking on the breakdown of traditional barriers to adoption of videophones, such as choppy video quality and high unit cost.
Those will be overcome, according to the company and its partner, with the recent introduction of new video codecs that require half
the bandwidth for video transfers, the continuing penetration of IP broadband connectivity and the availability of single-chip encode
and decode implementation.
Adding to the push are telecos looking for another revenue stream, says TI's Pradeep Bardia, business development manager for the
company's video group.
"Teleco companies are finding that this is another medium for them to make money. It also plays to the triple play -- data, voice,
video -- folks," he said, noting that ease of use is key to these companies. "If they can make it easy, with a triple play model and
[reasonable] monthly fee … it will move from enterprise, to home office/small office, to consumer."
Several large carriers, such as Vonage and Verizon, have announced plans to roll out IP videophones and related services for
small- to mid-sized businesses and individuals. To that end, Wainhouse Research projects that overall the personal videoconferencing
market will grow from about $21 million in 2003 to just south of $180 million in 2008, a compounded growth rate of about 53 percent.
But the variable here is broadband subscriber growth. While high-speed access has been more readily adopted in Europe and
Asia -- the two areas Bardia claims have the highest respective proliferation so far -- subscriber rates are relatively low here
in the United States.
"The faster broadband gets pervasive, the faster people will adopt video phones," he said.
TI is optimistic, but realistic. The company recognizes that videophones have been anticipated for nearly 40 years now and without
help from the telcos and large-scale broadband adoption, even the clearest picture won't be enough to connect with consumers.
Still, Bardia feels the second half of 2004 and the high level of foot traffic video phones saw at January's Consumer Electronic
Show prove consumer interest.
"In the last six months we've seen all these video applications grow quite a bit, and customers around the world are all over us
asking for a processor that can support video, support voice and support data," he said.
Broken down, the VDP from TI and Wintech is an integrated hardware/software development platform. All application system software
runs on TI's 600MHz DSP-based TMS320DM643 digital media processor, which allows OEMs to customize the entire design from codec to user
interface and to create different product families and price lines based on the same platform. Likewise, the VDP uses complementary TI
analog technology, including the TVP5150 video decoder and AIC23 audio codec.
From a hardware perspective, the modular VDP allows developers to connect the boards over a live network and/or the Internet to test
under real-world operating conditions, TI said, adding that the platform is easily configured for different video telephony applications.
The hardware platform includes external memory and a variety of peripherals and audio/video interfaces, network connectivity and
communication interfaces.
The VDP includes all the software necessary to evaluate, design and test video telephony endpoints, including video and voice codecs,
integrated reference frameworks, communications stack and network protocols.
Available now, the VDP includes two DM643 boards, two five-inch LCDs, two cameras, network switch/hub and complete ready-to-use
application software, and is priced at $6,950.

Texas Instruments Extends DSP, VoIP Leadership to Real-Time,
to Real-Time, High-Quality Consumer Videophones
New Development Platform from TI and Wintech Improves Quality, Integration
and Lowers System Cost of Videophones
DALLAS (February 15, 2005) – Empowering original equipment manufacturers to bring videophones to market faster,
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) and Wintech Digital Systems Technology Corp. (Wintech)(OTCBB:
WDSP) are releasing the Videophone
Development Platform (VDP), a complete development platform for designing point-to-point IP-based videophone systems. The VDP
enables developers to roll out real-time, high-quality consumer videophone systems on TI's digital media processor,
substantially lowering system cost and reducing development time. For more information see
www.ti.com/vdppr.
Traditional barriers to adoption of videophones include jerky video quality and high unit cost. However, the
introduction of new video codecs which require half the bandwidth for video transfers, the continuing penetration of IP
broadband connectivity and the availability of single-chip encode and decode implementation has overcome these last-mile
barriers. The increasing market demand for IP consumer videophones with superior audio and video quality is driving the
advent of new and improved systems.
Further pushing deployment of videophones, many large carriers have announced plans to roll out IP videophones
and related services for small- to mid-sized businesses and individuals with broadband Internet connections. Wainhouse
Research projects that overall the personal videoconferencing market will grow from about $21 million in 2003 to just shy
of $180 million in 2008, a compounded growth rate of about 53 percent.
"Videophones have been anticipated for over 40 years, but they have had the limitation of low-quality video,"
Richard Westerfer, COO and senior vice president of engineering, WorldGate Communications, Inc. "Building on the single-chip
capabilities of TI’s DSP-based digital media processor, we were able to quickly develop the kind of video quality WorldGate
required to appeal to consumers with high-quality video over the Internet. The digital media processor will also allow us to
easily upgrade our design for future product releases."
Unparalleled Development Platform
The VDP from TI and Wintech is an integrated hardware/software development platform reducing both design complexity
and total system bill of materials, including everything developers need to begin designing point-to-point videophone systems
immediately. All application system software runs on TI's 600 MHz DSP-based TMS320DM643 digital media processor, including
audio/video compression, networking stacks and control protocols.
"The VDP provides developers with the tools necessary to create viable and commercially ready IP-based video
client devices," said David Dong, president, Wintech. "Instead of spending months integrating different software algorithms,
developers begin the development process starting with high-quality video and tight audio/video sync, enabling them to focus
on product differentiating features, such as the user interface and out-of-box experience."
From a hardware perspective, the modular VDP offers a complete development environment for designing and building
consumer videophones. Developers can connect the development boards over a live network and/or the Internet to test under
real-world operating conditions, and the VDP is easily configured for different video telephony applications. The hardware
platform includes external memory and a variety of peripherals and audio/video interfaces, network connectivity and communication
interfaces.
The key to the flexibility of the VDP is the programmable foundation of the DM643 digital media processor, which
enables OEMs to customize the entire design, from codec to user interface and to create different product families and price
lines based on the same platform. The VDP incorporates industry protocol standards so products developed with the VDP are able
to interoperate with other videophones and the existing IP infrastructure. Likewise, the VDP uses complementary TI analog technology,
including the TVP5150 video decoder and AIC23 audio codec, to enable the highest video and audio quality possible. The VDP includes
all the software necessary to evaluate, design and test video telephony endpoints, including video and voice codecs, integrated
reference frameworks, communications stack and network protocols.
Pricing and Availability
Available now, the comprehensive VDP includes two DM643 boards, two five-inch LCDs, two cameras, network switch/hub
and complete ready-to-use application software, and it is priced at $6,950. To order a VDP, see

News Release: February 15, 2005
TI, Wintech Offer Videophone Development Kit
The Video Development Platform from Texas Instruments and Wintech lets developers design IP-based consumer videophones.
Texas Instruments and Wintech Digital Systems Technology have released the Videophone Development Platform (VDP), a combined
hardware/software platform for developing point-to-point, IP-based videophone systems. The VDP includes two DM643 boards, two
five-inch LCDs, two cameras, a network switch/hub, and application software.
Pradeep Bardia, Business Development Manager at TI, says, "The VDP will help developers create videophones that meet the main
consumer demands: affordability, good technology (no dropped frames and audio/video synchronization), easy setup, and software
deployable upgrades." TI says that it expects that some videophones designed using the platform will sell for less than $200.
Bardia adds, "VDP will save OEMs significant development time. If they want to, OEMs can put a plastic shell around it and have a
working videophone."
All application software runs on TI's 600 MHz DSP-based TMS320DM643 digital media processor, which provides audio/video
compression, networking stacks, and control protocols. The DM643 lets OEMs customize their designs, from codec to user interface,
to create different product families and price lines.
Each VDP includes all the software necessary to design and test video telephony endpoints. Developers can connect the development
boards over a live network and/or the Internet to test under real-world operating conditions.
The VDP supports industry standard protocols, including TCP/IP and RTP/RTCP network protocols, H.263 and H.264 video codecs,
G.723 and G.711 audio codecs, and the H.323 communications stack; TI says that it will add SIP support in the next release. The
platform also uses complementary TI analog technology, including the TVP5150 video decoder and AIC23 audio codec.
"The VDP provides developers with the tools necessary to create... commercially ready, IP-based video client devices," says
David Dong, Wintech's president. "Instead of spending months integrating different software algorithms, developers begin the
development process starting with high-quality video and tight audio/video sync, enabling them to focus on product differentiating
features, such as the user interface and out-of-box experience."
TI demonstrated the VDP to CommWeb's staff, and we liked what we saw. TI set the demo up in less than five minutes. Although
we did not test video quality over the Internet, VDP performed as advertised with a direct Ethernet link. The video was crisp,
with little observable jerkiness, and perfectly synched with the audio. We found the application software easy to use, with a
simple menu system making the selection of codecs and other operating parameters a snap.
The VDP, which is available now, is priced at $6,950.
