Embedded Media Processing
This book is the one-stop shop for the many engineers who need to understand what embedded media processors can do, and how to implement them. An embedded media processor combines the best aspects of a traditional microcontroller and a DSP for use in a multimedia product. As the demand grows for smaller, faster, multifunction, portable embedded products, such as video-enabled cellphones and PDA's that play music or games, EMPs become more popular. As a result, an increasing number of engineers need to migrate from using multiprocessor methods to using EMPs in their designs.
