SAN JOSE, Calif., April 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc.
(NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced that its All Programmable devices
are enabing Blackmagic Design to develop complete 4K camera systems
on a chip. These devices are at the heart of Blackmagic's URSA
camera, which features a 4K Super 35 sensor with global shutter and
a fold out 10" monitor, and the Production Camera 4K which is the
world's smallest Ultra HD 4K cinema production camera.

At the core of these new cameras are Xilinx®
Kintex®-7 devices, offering industry-leading
transceivers to implement the new 12G-SDI connectivity standard for
10-Bit 4:2:2 4K video output. Blackmagic was able to combine the
12G-SDI connectivity with advanced video and image processing
algorithms implemented in the FPGA fabric, putting together an
entire camera system. The Kintex-7 FPGA is the first
mid-range FPGA in the industry that can support 300MHz fabric speed
and 12Gbps line rate tranceivers for 4K video system
development.
Blackmagic Design's cameras are democratizing the professional
camera market by providing cinematographers access to a new set of
tools to produce professional grade content. Xilinx will demontrate
both the URSA and Production Camera 4K cameras in its booth at NAB
2015 (Booth # N5616).
"Our relationship with Xilinx has grown over the past decade as
we have expanded our product offering into a wider range of video
equipment and solutions," said Dan
May, president of Blackmagic Design. "Xilinx offers an
industry leading portfolio of technology that allows us to create
affordable products that provide our customers the best quality
video."
"Our devices are enabling Blackmagic Design to integrate
advanced connectivity and video processing. Xilinx All Programmable
solutions provide Blackmagic Design with a canvas to implement and
refine their video and image processing algorithms while providing
the ability to rapidly iterate on those algorithms until they
produce stunning image and video quality," said Bob Feng, senior video system architect for the
broadcast and pro a/v business segment at Xilinx. "This flexibility
has given Blackmagic Design a platform to extend its brand into new
areas like professional cameras and upgrade existing solutions to
support Ultra HD resolutions and video connectivity."
