DSP architecture for real time digital video converter

In this paper we propose the architecture of a digital video standard converter based on the use of DSP processors (AD 21060 SHARC) completely programmable and able to perform real time elaboration. The purpose is to verify experimentally the possibility to implement very complex moto compensation algorithm (for example in real time digital television standard converter), on a multiprocessing DSP system. In this way is possible to make very versatile digital elaborators (because programmable) and at low cost. This system find out applications in: — Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) [1-2, 4-6] — Artificial intelligence — Robotics and military applications in motion detection system.
