The PVDM2 product spec is very forthcoming in stating the PVDM2 uses Texas Instruments DSP and runs at either 200mhz or 175mhz. The specification for PVDM3 doesn't state what type of DSP is used or the clock cycles. It only says "Multicore DSP technology" - so I don't think Cisco wants to share that information right now. It's possible that once someone gets their hands on one they will know more information. <div><br></div><div>It's not easy to find details about video and the PVDM3. Perhaps video conference mixing?
