Simplifying development of video security systems is the bailiwick of the Video Security over IP (VSIP) Tool Kit. It's built around a TMS320DM6xx DSP and an Altera Cyclone FPGA. Support is available for both analog and digital cameras. The FPGA provides peripheral customization for features like hard-disk support. An Ethernet port connects systems together via an Ethernet port. Ateme (www.ateme.com) software for the toolkit includes a software stack with audio/video compression support up to application samples for access rights management. Prices for the TMS320DM640 DSP with one (20-bit) or two (10-bit) video ports start at $19.95. The toolkit with JTAG emulator is $15,995.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.  

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
