DMCK 是特別用來發展 FPGA 的發展套件，主要用來發展需要和 DSP 共同處理的應用，如聲音、影像和網路等。 DMCK 套件包含了硬體平台、完整的程式庫和一般發展 DSP 和 FPGA 範例的原始程式。

• It enables you to develop your first co-processing application very rapidly, as low-level and applicative interfaces between DSP and FPGA are delivered in both environments.
• The hardware platform includes audio and video inputs and outputs, connected both to FPGA and DSP, so that video or audio stream processing can be developed in software and then ported to FPGA. It can also include an IDE drive interface, PC104, extension port, etc.

• This development platform provides an ideal environment for the development and prototyping of a wide range of embedded applications, particularly in the video and audio field (broadcast, broadband, video-security, medical, military, transportation, industrial, etc…).
• The DSP-FPGA Co-processing development platform contains everything needed for system-level design, whether the user has a background in hardware or not, thanks to Altera new-generation FPGA design software and to easy-to-use APIs for DSP.

This new kit supports Ateme’s complete software offer for audio and video compression.
