Real-time video processing

At the Web site of Oxford Micro Devices (Shelton, CT), you will find an in-depth description of the company`s A236 IC, a programmable, digital video signal processor. Featuring an SIMD architecture with four 16-bit vector processors and a crossbar switch that passes information among the on-chip processors, the IC provides an instruction set that supports single-instruction, parallel operations on C-like parallel data structures. According to Oxford, the IC is especially useful when manipulating
