Design Note #143
Exacting the highest quality, low latency video image switching, processing, and mixing requires high speed design techniques. The simultaneous processing of 4K deep color RGB and color compressed video data is compute intensive. HDMI, DisplayPort, SDI, DVI-I and Analog Video inputs are processed in real time.
Altera Agilex and/or Altera Arria FPGA devices provide ample high-speed transceivers, DSP Blocks, memory interfaces and internal fabric to accomplish a large number of video processing requirements. OTEC multi-decade long experience with Altera FPGA devices makes Verilog implementation a sure thing.
64Bit wide high speed DDR4 memory provides a high bandwidth, flexible frame buffer storage system. Multiple video streams may read and write the frame buffer system at full 3840 x 2160 P60 data rates. Wide DDR4 memory provides all the bandwidth required.
Altera video and image processing suite (VIP) provides core image processing functions including pattern generation, color space conversion, color sequence conversion, frame deinterlacing, gamma correction, and video image scaling. Avalon- ST VIP video transfer protocols permit rapid system reconfiguration.
The rich Altera Video Library provides interfaces to standard video equipment through HDMI, DisplayPort, and Broadcast SDI systems. High speed video input and output makes use of both existing Altera IP and OTEC generated custom IP.
