A programming environment for HD-Picot system

Abstract

A programming environment for the multi-processor system-HD-Picot System-has been developed. HD-Picot System is a programmable real-time video signal processing system. It has an architecture suitable for video-rate processing of signals, including both conventional TV and high definition TV. The programming environment transforms a video processing application written in graphical form into code sets executable on HD-Picot System. It consists mainly of a graphical editor and an integrated compiler which breaks up a signal flow graph, compensates timing differences between signal paths, generates programs, and displays control panel on a screen of a workstation.
