  • Jun 2006 - Oct 2012

  Design a heterogeneous compute platform optimized for HD video to serve as the foundation for the next generation of Cisco Telepresence, based on PCIe 3.0 this system allowed multiple streams of full HD uncompressed video (1080p60) to be moved through the system. Video can be processed by the subsystem optimized for the task, including host processor, GPU, third party SOC, and custom gate array. When necessary video data can move directly from one subsystem to the next without host processor intervention (DMA) optimizing PCIe bandwith allocation. Create a custom embedded kernel for the TI DaVinci DM6467 video SOC. This kernel provides all the services required by the video codec engine including timing, interrupt handling, raw video processing, DMA and PCI interface to the host system. The kernel can capture code timing information for offline analysis. The optimized design and low overhead of this custom kernel is a significant feature in allowing the DM6467 to achieve full 1080p60 h.264 encode and is currently in shipping Cisco Telepresence systems. Design and develop the interface of a video DSP subsystem to the embedded Linux host system. Implement that interface via Linux device drivers using Video4Linux with proprietary extensions. Design and implement the data communication interface for an Ethernet digital microphone array. Show less



Opgate, Ltd.

  • Nov 2001 - Jun 2006

  Integrate opGate’s low latency h.264 video codec with Cisco Telepresence. Write Video4Linux driver combining standard Video4Linux interfaces with proprietary Cisco interfaces to create low latency compressed video stream. Created an MFC based Windows application to produce cable STB ready video streams. Using Sony Betacam SP as source material and a Tandberg MPEG-2 encoder the application produced a broadcast ready Transport Stream from a list of edit points. Design and implement a Linux based video server to send RTP streams to an array of proprietary video STBs. Video thumbnail menus allowed video selection by remote control. Perform system bringup and create capability demos for Quicksiver Technologies COSM reconfigurable computing platform. Show less
