Overview:	The HC(C)FG44 is a TIM-40 framegrabber module that has an on-board TMS320C44 processor. The processor has 4 or 16M byte of fast page mode DRAM on its local bus. The framestore is 1Mbyte in size, and may be used as 1024x1024 pixels that are 8 bit wide, or as 512x512 pixels that are 24 bit wide. The framestore is located on the TMS320C44 processor's global bus. The module is a size 1 TIM-40 module. After minimal software configuration hardware is used to capture images into the framestore. The image data may then be processed by the TMS320C44 processor. Composite, Y/C, interlaced, non interlaced RGB and monochrome video inputs can be captured. On-board the HECFG44 carries an IDROM. The processor clock comes from an on-board Xtal oscillator, enabling mixed speed TMS320C4x networks. The pixel clock used for digitizing is derived from a separate user changeable Xtal. The JTAG port is used for debugging. Hunt Engineering motherboards are designed in such a way that a whole system, consisting of any set of motherboards and TIM-40 modules, can be controlled by one and the same JTAG port.
