Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ:XLNX) today announced that its industry-leading programmable logic solutions for enabling broadcast applications will be showcased at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC), September 7-11, 2007 in Amsterdam. Xilinx will conduct live demonstrations of its solutions including video and audio connectivity, video over IP, an advanced video development platform, and JPEG2000 CODECs.
Xilinx Stand Demonstrations #10.421
o 3G-SDI & Dual Link HD-SDI: Demonstration of daisy chain boards
highlighting the flexibility and interoperability of Xilinx broadcast
solutions for Dual Link HD-SDI and 3G-SDI SMPTE emerging standards, as
well as embedding, de-embedding and sample rate conversion of AES3
audio transported in HD-SDI streams Implementation on Xilinx®
Virtex(TM)-5 LXT FPGAs enables transfer of uncompressed 1080p 50/60
video into and out of a variety of broadcast applications and
translation and bridging between various standards.
o Video over IP with Forward Error Correction: Demonstration of bridging
between multiple DVB-ASI input streams and Gigabit Ethernet IP packets,
as well as forward error correction to ProMPEG CoP3 based on Xilinx
Virtex-5 family of FPGAs. The reprogrammable platform can bridge
between IP networks and traditional broadcast connectivity standards,
ultimately lowering the risks involved in rolling out triple and
quad-play capabilities.
o Advanced Video Development Platform (AVDP): Demonstration of PCI
Express® compliant cards based on Xilinx Virtex-5 LXT and SXT FPGAs,
developed by OmniTek Ltd. The platform enables a standard PC to support
professional broadcast quality video processing and is capable of
streaming uncompressed video via 3G-SDI, Dual Link HD-SDI, HD-SDI, SDI
and DVB-ASI connectivity to and from the PC. Broadcast quality scaling
and deinterlacing IP (bundled with the board) will also be demonstrated.
o JPEG2000 Encoding and Decoding Solutions: Demonstration of JPEG2000
encoding and decoding solutions developed by Barco Silex, using the
Xilinx Virtex-5 family of FPGAs. The codec solutions support DCI
(Digital Cinema Initiative) formats including 2048 x 1080 and
4096 x 2160 resolutions with up to 48 frames per second, and broadcast
formats including 1080i and 1080p. Both the encoder and decoder are
capable of replacing multiple ASSP devices or PC farms and offer the
flexibility to tailor to exact requirements, including integration of
security and watermarking features.
