Helion IONOS Video Pipeline IP for Lattice FPGA Devices
Lattice Semiconductor and Helion GmbH teamed on Intellectual Property (IP) cores for the video security and surveillance camera market. Helion’s IONOS video pipeline IP and Vesta evaluation platform targets the LatticeXP2, LatticeECP2M, and LatticeECP3 FPGA families. The Helion Vesta evaluation platform is a completely self-contained platform that enables the development and realization of image pipelines for camera systems, especially in tight form-factor video security applications such as network IP and dome cameras.

Working with partner Helion, Lattice offers a comprehensive High Dynamic Range (HDR) pipeline that is fully configurable, works with industry standard HDR sensors, and delivers outstanding HDR performance in a FPGA based HDR implementation. Helion’s Vesta evaluation platform is a modular technology platform that combines a video processing baseboard, an image sensor and a Lattice FPGA capable of supporting a range of Helion’s IONOS video pipelines.
Helion offers a comprehensive selection of video pipelines, ranging from basic to advanced monochrome and color pipelines, all the way through high resolution advanced High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI) color pipelines. Depending on the pipeline selected, it will consist of a number of individual video processing IP cores, such as defective pixel correction, logic-efficient 3 x 3 De-Bayering, high quality 5 x 5 De-Bayering, color-correction matrix, gamma correction, auto-exposure, auto-white balance and more. These cores also support Lattice FPGA devices, and all are compatible and simply connected using the Wishbone bus.
