Iraqi broadcasters from the Independent Radio and Television Network (IRTN) in Diyala Province, Iraq launch a new network.

Blogs are the center of gravity in the Advertising 2.0 world. They are the voices of conversational media. But blogging is also a focal point for other aspects of digital marketing. Search engine optimization and marketing, online advertising, online public relations, and even branding all engage blogs in one way or another. This month's newsletter addresses subjects such as "what makes a blog a blog," "how many blogs are there," "how to find blogs," and "how advertisers and marketers can engage bloggers to promote brands and services." So let's get right to it...

Has it really been 25 years? Can it be possible that TI’s digital signal processing technology is old enough to rent a car and appear in a light beer commercial? In 1982, the semiconductor market saw the first viable digital signal processor shipped. Over the ensuing 25 years a paradox has arisen. As they’ve aged, DSPs have grown smarter, faster and more agile while I have grown slower, and more apt to spend a Saturday night in front of the TV. Tempus fugit.

I kid, of course. But there is no overlooking the impact of the technology over that span of years. The industry has shipped 9.5 billion DSPs in a broad range of products that have improved our lives to a degree that was unimaginable even to those of us who helped usher in the DSP era. But if you think the last 25 years was something, just wait and see what will happen in the next 25 years. DSP is proliferating new areas in the semiconductor market, demonstrating that it has evolved into a catalyst for innovation that will change our very lives.

The main reason for this is that we have freed manufacturers from building products that are defined by the chip. We are on a product-first, chip-second paradigm that allows for broader innovation. The marriage of digital signal processors with other technologies like accelerators and ARMs has enabled SoC-based innovation that is leading to exponential breakthroughs in previously un-thought of application spaces. Currently, those spaces are video and audio entertainment for the most part. But these are just the tip of the iceberg. Let’s take a look at what life will be like just a few short years from now.

I had the chance this morning, at TI’s fifth annual Developer Conference, to get together with about 1000 engineers who are using TI Digital Signal Processing technology to create unique and exciting electronics products. As you may know, this is the 25th anniversary of the first commercially successful digital signal processing. And as someone who was there at the beginning, I am pleased to join the conference today to talk about where the technology is headed in the next 25 years.

Back in the early 1980’s, DSP was just an idea we were kicking around in TI’s Houston offices. There were about thirty of us, young engineers who truly believed we were on a mission from God to create a new technology that had the potential to change the world. Back then, a DSP was a simple processor with a single multiplier, and you could literally memorize the lines of code. The market was relatively small (zero at first), but our customers developed some amazing products for the telecommunications, military and industrial spaces. I remember one of the markets on our target list was homomorphic processing. Back then, I used to say I had no idea what it was, but I assumed it would make the world safe for democracy.

Le format HDV contient le timecode et le datacode. Studio est capable de manipuler les fichiers HDV, il réalise la capture des scènes en se basant sur le timecode, mais par contre, il n'est pas possible de voir le timecode dans Studio après la capture.

HDV contains timecode and datacode information. Studio is able to handle HDV, and it can do scene capture and detection based on timecode, but you are not able to see timecode information in Studio after the capture.

Thanks to a partnership between the US-funded Agriculture Reconstruction and Development Program for Iraq (ARDI) and local Iraqi farmers, vineyards in the northern provinces succeed.
