Immersive Video Systems
As 4K/Ultra-HD becomes the de facto resolution in consumer
applications, the broadcast and professional a/v markets must
create even more immersive experiences targeting not only 4K, but
next generation 8K/Super Hi Vision. Additionally, equipment makers
must push the boundaries on existing resolutions including HD and
4K/Ultra-HD to produce hyper-realistic video that removes motion
blur artifacts in fast moving scenes. The market dictates enhanced
pixel quality through deeper color depth, higher dynamic range, and
increasing frame rates.
In order to support these mandates, Xilinx is delivering the
most comprehensive suite of solutions for advanced video system
development. This new generation of solutions includes
support for 'any to any' connectivity, video processing and
development boards to rapidly develop and deploy 4K/Ultra-HD and
8K/Super Hi Vision systems, and provide the flexibility to enable
any media over any network.
"Next generation video system development is exponentially more
complex with greater resolution, higher expectations of quality,
and expanding connectivity requirements. At the same time, design
cycles continue to compress as competition heats up in the
professional video space," said Aaron
Behman, director of the broadcast and pro a/v business
segment at Xilinx. "With the release of these video system
solutions, Xilinx has clearly established itself as the strategic
partner of choice for the broadcast and pro a/v markets."
Most Comprehensive Suite of Programmable Professional Video
Solutions
- New Suite of 'any to any' Video
Connectivity: HDMI 1.4/2.0; DisplayPort 1.2 with support for
HDCP; and the new 6G/12G versions of SDI. These Xilinx developed
and supported interfaces will allow developers to support the
latest industry standards for 8K/Super Hi Vision and 4K/Ultra-HD
systems.
- Advanced Video Processing for 4K/Ultra-HD
and 8K/Super Hi Vision: Xilinx supports advanced, all
programmable video processing for 4K/Ultra-HD and 8K/Super Hi
Vision through a programmable video processor provided by Omnitek,
a Certified Member of the Xilinx Alliance Program. To speed up
evaluation and development, the Omnitek Scalable Video Processing
Suite is built into new versions of the Real-Time Video Engine, a
free reference design from Xilinx that allows developers to rapidly
implement a 4K/Ultra-HD video system in weeks rather than months.
This video processing suite performs key video functions including
de-interlacing, scaling, and overlays, while supporting refresh
rates up to 60 frames per second, and allowing designers to add
their own differentiated video algorithms. Multiple instances of
this video processor can be implemented in a single Xilinx device
enabling developers to create dense, multi-channel products.
- Comprehensive Video-specific Development
Platforms: A complete portfolio of video interface breakout
boards, or FPGA Mezzanine Cards (FMCs), are available through Fidus
Systems, Inc. and inrevium AMERICA, two Premier Design Services
Members of the Xilinx Alliance Program. These FMCs support HDMI
2.0, DisplayPort 1.2 with HDCP, and the new 6G/12G versions of SDI.
Fidus and inrevium have also designed the Xilinx
Kintex® UltraScale™ FPGA-based ACDC8K Platform for 8K/Super Hi Vision
system development and the Xilinx Artix®-7 FPGA-based Dual FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC, VITA 57.1)
Carrier Platform, the industry's lowest cost 4K/Ultra-HD
development platform.
Availability
The video connectivity solutions are available from Xilinx in
the Vivado® Design Suite 2015.1 release and will be
supported on Artix-7, Kintex-7, Virtex®-7, Virtex-7X,
