Spartan-6 FPGA Broadcast Connectivity Kit, Processing Engine IP Core
Xilinx introduced the Spartan-6 FPGA Broadcast Connectivity Kit and Broadcast Processing Engine IP core. The development platform is ideal for engineers working on 3D TV broadcast and other high definition video applications. The Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA Broadcast Connectivity Kit and Broadcast Processing Engine IP core enable broadcast system designers to build full systems for high-speed transmission and real-time processing of video in a full range of professional broadcast applications (such as cameras, switchers, routers, encoders, monitors and cinema projectors).
Spartan-6 FPGA Broadcast Connectivity Kit
- Supports the development of systems using the Spartan-6 family of low-cost FPGAs
- Integrates multiple interfaces into a flexible, single chip FPGA design
- Bridges the different standards used for uncompressed video and new display technologies
- Triple-rate Serial Digital Interface (SDI), HDMI (High-Definition Media Interface), DisplayPort, DVI and V-by-One HS standards
- Designers can evaluate pre-defined video interfaces used across the professional broadcast market
- Developed by Tokyo Electron Devices
- Comprehensive Broadcast Targeted Design Platform
- Reduces bill-of-materials in the final end system
- Accommodates the higher speeds required by 3D, Digital Cinema and Ultra HDTV (6G-SDI, 10G-SDI and 12G-SDI) in the future
Xilinx Broadcast Processing Engine
- Process video on a single chip
- Enables designers to develop the complete video processing chain for many types of video applications
- Standardized the input and output of each video block
- Engineers can add IP, upgrade IP or mix and match Xilinx video IP using the Xilinx Streaming Video Interface (XSVI)
- Supports existing and emerging standards including 3D TV and 4Kx2K Digital Cinema
- Will support up to 4Kx4K resolution in the video scaler at 12-bit color depth
