Xilinx Solution Demonstrations - Booth SU14609

-- 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.
Implementation on Xilinx Virtex(TM)-5 LXT FPGAs enables transfer of
uncompressed 1080p50/60 video into and out of a variety of broadcast
applications and translation and bridging between various standards.

-- 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 family of FPGAs. This 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.

-- Advanced Video Development Platform (AVDP): Demonstration of PCI
Express(R) compliant cards based on Xilinx Virtex-5 LXT/SXT FPGAs,
developed by partner Image Processing Techniques, Ltd. Platform enables
a standard PC to support professional broadcast quality video
processing. The platform 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.

-- H.264 HD Encode & Decode with Streaming over RTP: Demonstration of
licensable IP cores developed by 4i2i Communications, Ltd. Featuring
real-time HD H.264 Main Profile encoding and high profile decoding
targeted for Xilinx Virtex-5 LX FPGAs. Both cores deliver a
high-performance, high quality solution for many compression and
transcoding requirements across the broadcast industry.

-- SD H.264 Main Profile Encoding: Xilinx and Ateme will demonstrate a
compact, fully programmable, real-time broadcast-quality SD H.264 Main
Profile encoding solution based on a Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA.
