Altera Advanced Systems Development Kit Goes Beyond HD
Altera introduced their Advanced Systems Development Kit. The system development kit can handle “beyond HD” resolutions and formats for engineers designing multi-channel and high-resolution video processing systems. Altera’s Advanced Systems Development Kit includes enough logic resources, I/O bandwidth, and external memory bandwidth to handle up to 8K ultra HD video processing.
The Altera Advanced Systems Development Kit supports a complete BSP (board support package) with firmware and PCI Express (PCIe) streaming drivers. It is also PCIe form-factor compliant, enabling designers to deploy it in both commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and purpose-built servers. The kit is ideal for designers who must build optimized products while still meeting the performance requirements of high-resolution, dense-channel video applications.
