Driving the Digital Lifestyle

Driving the Digital Lifestyle

By pairing the ARM CPU core with the Quatro DSP core, the Quatro

solution provides OEMs with a unique combination of high

performance processing and easy-to-use programmability. The ARM

CPU core, the established leader in embedded CPU cores, delivers

high performance system and control processing with dense code

size and highly regarded software development tool suite.

The 4050 Quatro DSP core builds on 6 generations and 10 years of

Zoran Quatro DSP technology. The 4-datapath parallel processing

Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) architecture is specifically

tailored for imaging applications, delivering unmatched performance.

The Quatro DSP offers up to 530 million multiply-accumulates

(MACs) per second at 133 MHz, allowing new imaging features to be

quickly implemented without changing hardware, enabling rapid time-

to-market and minimizing development expense.

Programming Environment

The programming environment for the 4050 is based on the ARM

RealView Developer Suite, widely recognized as one of the best

embedded development tool sets available. To these proven ARM

tools Zoran integrates a set of tools for programming the Quatro

DSP—C compiler assembler, simulators, debugger, and libraries.

Using the ARM CPU and Quatro DSP simulators, an OEM's

complete system—both system functions and image processing

pipelines—can be fully developed and simulated on a PC. Zoran's

extensive library of optimized image processing algorithms makes

developing image processing pipelines easy.

Reference Design

To further shorten time-to-market, Zoran provides OEMs with a

reference design for an inkjet AIO. The reference design includes

both a controller board and firmware. The reference controller board

also serves as a development board that OEMs can use to prototype

their own system code.
