Treck Incorporated's TCP/IP Ported to
Texas Instruments DM642 Digital Media Processor
Embedded Protocol Solution Provides Digital Media Developers Significantly
Improved Data Throughput and Reliability

CINCINNATI , OH (February 20, 2004) – Treck Inc. today announced the award-winning Treck TCP/IP embedded protocol stack is now fully ported to TI's TMS320DM642 (DM642) software programmable digital media processor. Embedded systems designers demanding the highest level of digital media performance now have the option to choose the award winning Treck TCP/IP protocol stack for a power-packed digital media platform. Treck TCP/IP is optimized for embedded video applications making ideal for a wide variety of applications such as video phones, network video surveillance equipment, cameras, and similar products.

“ The evolution in digital media is ushering in the need for significant cooperative effort to help advance the development of next-generation digital media products ,” said Thomas Brooks, DM64x marketing manager, TI. “Treck and TI are dedicated to easing development time and reducing systems costs for designers of digital media products.”

Treck TCP/IP is found in devices such as voice-over-IP communication systems, telematics, set-top boxes, printers, medical systems, industrial controllers and flight/mission critical applications. Treck's embedded protocols are the de-facto standard in embedded protocol software and provide developers with clean ANSI C source code and unmatched data throughput and reliability. Dedication to technical support and working closely with their customers, Treck ensures unpar all eled and timely results. Treck TCP/IP is built from the ground up specific all y for embedded systems and works seamlessly in nearly any embedded environment including TI's DM642.

“We are looking forward to growing our relationship with TI and are tremendously pleased with the cooperation and support we have received from them in the past,” said Paul Martin, CEO of Treck Incorporated. “Together, Treck and TI provide a powerful video processing, voice and data transmission solution for any embedded device aimed at streaming video, video conferencing, voice communications and other related applications.”

The DM642 is tailored for the video and imaging market, specifically video over IP, video-on-demand (VOD), multi-channel digital video recording applications and high-quality video encoding and decoding solutions. Built on the proven architecture of TI's TMS320C64x™ generation of DSPs, the DM642 is code compatible with TI's other C64x digital signal processors and can interface with up to six simultaneous 8-bit BT 656-compliant video streams.

Offering on-chip integrated video ports, glueless Ethernet and multi-channel audio, the DM642's level of integration surpasses many traditional hard-wired fixed function chipsets, while offering the convenience of software programmability. The DM642 is also capable of full video encoding in real time and offers the industry's first code support for broadcast-quality Windows Media 9™ encode and decode technology. Additionally, the DM642 support s the latest industry standard algorithms including MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) decode.
