The move to signal processing applications also demands unique
engineering skills. For example, there are a wide variety of chips
available, and radically different architectures often target the same
signal processing applications. Equipment designers who are unfamiliar
with the options find it difficult to confidently weigh their
alternatives—and may overlook the best solution for their application.
Similarly, processor developers who want to add signal processing
features to their products often find it difficult to stay on top of
the diverse, rapidly shifting requirements of signal processing
applications.
As in nature, adaptation is a key to success in the face of business
changes. BDTI seminars have helped numerous companies transform
themselves to tackle new signal processing applications. These seminars
provide unique insights from BDTI's thirteen years of technology
analysis and hands-on development work. In one example, a vendor of
embedded software tools engaged BDTI's services to explore the market
for a recently acquired line of signal-processing-oriented products.
BDTI helped this company refine its marketing efforts through an
on-site seminar as well as an in-depth question-and-answer session.
BDTI currently offers six online seminars:
- Introduction to Video Compression
- Selecting Application Processors for Mobile Multimedia
- Developing Embedded Video Software
- FPGAs for DSP
- Microprocessors vs. DSPs: Fundamentals and Distinctions
- Processors for Communication and Multimedia Applications
These six seminars are also available for on-site delivery, as are seminars on the following additional topics:
- Processors for DSP: Architectures and Trends
- DSP Software Development
- Digital and Streaming Audio: Applications, Algorithms, and Implementation
- Selecting and Using DSP Processor Cores
