Altera Showcases 4K Video Processing and Multichannel Video-over-IP at 2013 NAB Show
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Altera Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTR) is showcasing its latest roadcast solutions for 4K video processing and multichannel video-over-IP at the 2013 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in Las Vegas from April 8 to 11. Additionally, the company is demonstrating its Stratix® V Advanced Systems Development Kit (ASDK), a PCI Express® (PCIe®) Gen3x16 plug-in card architected for 4K ultra high-definition (Ultra HD), equivalent to 16-channel 1080p60 video processing.

When: Monday, April 8, to Wednesday, April 10, 2013
Where: NABbooth SU12011, Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada
Altera's In-Booth Demonstrations
-- 4K Video Processing--Altera is demonstrating its 4K reference designs
that address the immediate needs of broadcast equipment developers,
including downscaling from 4K to fit into existing SD/HD workflows and
upscaling from SD/HD to feed 4K displays. These designs leverage
Altera's patent-pending edge-adaptive sharpening algorithm, which
sharpens the scaled image without distorting details.
-- OpenCL--This demo features live video streaming using OpenCL(TM), and
real-time video processing such as Sobel edge-detection and image
manipulation, all coded in OpenCL software and running on Altera FPGAs.
In addition, this demo uses an Altera's Nios® II soft processor, and
enables the power of OpenCL in embedded applications by removing the
need for external processor or host server machine.
-- Stratix V ASDK--This hardware platform well exceeds the technical
requirements of typical professional video end products. With its PCIe
Gen3x16 connectivity and on-board resources architected to handle 16
channels of 1080p60 video processing, the platform can be used to derive
a myriad of end products, enabling broadcast engineers to rapidly design
future-proof solutions to address emerging market needs such as Ultra
HD, high-density transcoding for multiscreen, high frame-rate
applications, etc.
-- Video-over-IP from Macnica Americas--Macnica Americas' SMPTE
2022-1/2/5/6 solution is a complete design for transporting video over
an IP network exclusively on Altera FPGAs. The solution lowers the cost
of video transport by leveraging Ethernet, so multiple video channels
(up to 256) can be moved over a single cable reliably, and over long
distances. This demonstration replicates the setup of the VidTrans 2013
official interoperability tests, and features guest exhibitor Jack
Douglass, chairman of the SMPTE 2022 interoperability tests.
-- Video Compression with intoPIX--This intoPIX JPEG2000 design
demonstrates a compact CODEC solution for a full chain of video-over-IP
transmission, running on Altera's Cyclone V FPGAs. It features 1080p60
full HD operation with visually lossless compression, low latency, and
small IP footprint. The IP cores from intoPIX also feature standard
interfaces that integrate with Altera IP cores such as serial digital
interface (SDI) and the Video and Image Processing (VIP) suite, making
it easy to prototype and customize in the user design.
