We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Digital media processor", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
Start with the news release Dedicated DSP accelerates video transcoding from Texas Instruments (April 2006-), which we summarised at the time by saying "DSP-based system-on-chip is specifically tuned for real-time multiformat, high-definition video transcoding". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Digital media processor extends battery life from Texas Instruments (April 2006-): "The DM355 digital video evaluation module (DVEVM) allows developers to quickly and easily create low-cost portable, digital video devices with HD video capability".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Sundance Multiprocessor Technology concerning its Digital Video Infrastructure Platform - take a look at DSPs and FPGAs combine to host video development which says: "Platform offers original equipment manufacturers a complete, integrated solution for digital video development".
Take a look also at the news release from Texas Instruments (April 2006-), Reference designs speed camera introductions, as well as DaVinci technology in high-volume digital cameras from Texas Instruments (April 2006-), and Digital media processor enables video surveillance from Texas Instruments (April 2006-).
