&& PREVIOUS FINALIST | MAIN | NEXT FINALIST >> Category: Design Frameworks Finalist: 1080p video-design framework, Altera  Recognizing the need for HD quality video processing in a range of systems – including broadcast, surveillance, video-conferencing, medical imaging, and military vision systems – Altera developed the industry's only FPGA-based 1080p video design framework that lets designers rapidly put together custom video processing datapaths with an order of magnitude productivity edge. Altera’s 1080p video design framework allows system designers to create a custom image format conversion signal chain. The framework consists of a collection of IP, tools and building-block video functions and interfaces, including: 1080p-quality key video IP such as polyphase scaling, motion-adaptive deinterlacing and image mixing; building-block video functions for video input, output, transport, frame buffer interface and run-time control; the industry’s largest collection of hardware-verified reference designs; a standard, open-source, low-overhead video interface; and system-level designs tools for integrating processors and memory subsystems. Altera’s 1080p video design framework provides all the key functionality required by broadcast infrastructure systems to implement image format conversion. With the Altera 1080p video design framework and corresponding IP, building block video functions and image format conversion reference design, designers now have access to feature sets previously only found in broadcast ASSPs, with the added advantage of flexibility and hardware customization provided by the FPGA. |
