Go to Texas Instruments' website and look up DaVinci EVM and you should find
something.

I'm thinking exactly the same thing. Often when these "must walk
and talk like a PC... must not be a PC" requirements can be satisfied
by a PC motherboard in a custom enclosure. ITX boards are seriously
worth looking at, but you'll need to select carefully for HD video
support.

WinSystems (and probably some others) has boards (and 'development
kits' w'ever) that should allow xfer of your system into a smaller
package than a typical PC. There may be cheaper alternatives of
course.

If I told you I was building a car, and I asked you what size and type of
engine it needed, what would you tell me?
You need to give us some clue of what your processor loading is if you
want to get something that'll work. If money is an object, you also need
to give us a clue about your anticipated production volumes. Little
details like whether the computer has to capture video to be processed,
whether it's going to be networked, how it's going to be interacted with
by who (just at manufacture time? Every week by the guy who flips the
burgers? Every moment by your end customers?), etc., would also be
helpful.
If it works on a PC, why not a PC?

Whether the screen is 5 inch or 50 inch makes little difference.

So you are looking at 1920 x 1080 image sizes in pixels.
How often are the images updated?
Where are the images coming from?
What determines what image processing is done and when?

Define what you think is or is not a 'PC', many solutions look
nothing like a desktop PC, but are an embedded PC.

As you have given very little detail you could end up with a lot
of suggestions, which may or may not work.
Dear All,
I am working on a project where we have some image processing
algorithms written by my colleague. This is accomplished on a normal
PC. What we need to do is drive the images on to an approximately 50
inch LCD TV. We are looking at 1080p resolution. We would need the
code written on the PC to be completely ported on to a piece of
hardware with its necessary peripherals such that we can have a
standalone application, without depending upon the presence of a PC.
Could someone please suggest the kind of platforms I could test & port
my application on?
Thanks & Regards,
