TAK Imaging Unveils New Rapid Prototyping Platform for Next Generation Photo Printers; Solution Speeds Development and Time-to-Market for Dye Sub Models.SAN MATEO, Calif. -- TAK Imaging today announced full availability of a complete hardware and software development solution for accelerated and streamlined development of next generation dye sublimation sublimation, in chemistry sublimation (sŭblĭmā`shən), change of a solid substance directly to a vapor without first passing through the liquid state. photo printers. The TAK Imaging SKRRPP-DS rapid prototyping platform (RPP RPP Report on Plans and Priorities RPP Registered Pension Plan RPP Regulated Price Plan (Ontario Energy Board) RPP Rate Pressure Product RPP Registered Polarity Practitioner (elemental reflexology) ) enables developers to significantly shorten time-to-market design cycles, reuse software development efforts and integrate a range of competitive price/performance based features in printer designs. "Our new RPP gives designers the most cost-effective tools and solution available to quickly develop a range of next generation dye sublimation photo printers -- from ultra-low cost devices to robust, full featured systems," said TAK Imaging CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , Doug Goodyear. Powering the new platform is the TAK S1, a highly integrated System-on-Chip (SOC) that delivers industry-leading image processing performance of 2.4 seconds for a four-mega pixel dye sublimation print. Software for direct print application support from PCs, memory cards and PictBridge enabled cameras as well as software development tools for the embedded processors on the TAK S1 are also part of the package. Featuring a highly flexible engine interface for seamless connection to all types of Dye Diffusion Thermal Transfer (D2T D2T Drecq Daniel Technologies D2T Decoupled Truncated Tip 2) engines, the complete RPP package includes a development board with --Up to 128 Mbytes of DRAM --Connectors for all popular memory cards --USB 2.0 Host and Device connectors --JTAG connectors for software development and debug --Other connectors for LCD, TV out and keyboard The TAK Imaging RPP enables software developers to easily write and debug code on the platform for tasks as diverse as developing a new GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. to supporting a new engine. Easy access to the software modules allow developers to make changes or add features for photo printer designs that support multiple price/performance points using the same underlying hardware and software base. The SKRRPP-DS ships with a complete set of PC-based development tools, including compilers, linkers, and debuggers for the ARM and VersaRISC(TM)controllers for code written in C and C++. The package also includes a compiler, a performance analyzer and a simulator for the integrated Image Processing Engine The image processing engine, or image processor, is - next to the optics and the image sensor - one of the most important components of a digital camera and plays a vital role in creating the digital image. (IPE IPE - Integrated Programming Environment ) Digital Signal Processor A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor designed specifically for digital signal processing, generally in real-time computing.
