Xilinx lancerer dedikeret broadcast-platform
Xilinx demonstrerer på IBC 2009 udstillingen en broadcast-specifik designplatform (in english).
At IBC 2009, Xilinx will announce the live demonstration of the industry’s first Broadcast-specific Targeted Design Platform that accelerates time to market and enables greater innovation and differentiation of sophisticated broadcast systems.
Featuring the latest generation Xilinx Virtex-6 and Spartan-6 FPGAs, the Xilinx Targeted Design Platform is according to the company the only programmable broadcast offering to bring both high performance and low cost, low power serial connectivity to video creation and distribution applications for HD, 3D and beyond.
In addition to silicon devices, the platform encompasses all the elements needed by software and hardware developers to quickly build systems and run their specific applications.
Specifically, this includes an integrated set of Xilinx and third-party intellectual property (IP) cores, design environments, and reference designs, along with a series of broadcast-specific development kits, boards, and FMC daughter cards. With
this market-specific targeted design platform, broadcast equipment manufacturers can effectively lower the total cost of ownership and lengthen the time in market of their products.
Most notably, the Xilinx Broadcast-specific Targeted Design Platform demonstration at IBC will showcase developments in programmable silicon technologies and new IP cores that make it possible for broadcast development teams to lower the cost of triple rate serial digital interface (SDI) designs and rapidly adopt emerging standards such as DisplayPort and Ethernet AVB.
These include the new DisplayPort core from Xilinx which will enable transmission and reception of serial-digital video at up to 2.7Gbps for Consumer and Professional Displays. The DisplayPort protocol replaces DVI and HDMI outside and LVDS inside the box for higher resolution, higher frame rate and color bit depth display. DisplayPort also offers a smaller design, two-way interaction, improved signal integrity, and reduced EMI while providing faster speed.
