Accelerating Video Innovations with Intel® FPGAs
In today’s competitive market, it is crucial to continuously innovate to differentiate against new entrants using standardized off-the-shelf products. Video markets continue to evolve with new technologies and trends, such as:
• 8K ultra high definition (UHD) and higher resolutions, the shift to video over IP, and the use of artificial intelligence for video analytics
• New form factors, such as interactive display modules, and new video connectivity standards, such as HDMI* 2.1.
Intel® FPGAs – with its modular intellectual property (IP) architecture, early-to-market pre-canned IP cores, and ready-to-go reference design hardware – enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to quickly add new features or accommodate end customer specific requirements for a wide range of video markets.
8K UHD 60 frames per second (fps) is becoming a reality, with all major television vendors announcing their 8K/HDMI 2.1 products at CES 2019 and the plan for the first live broadcast at the Japan Olympics in 2020. Intel FPGAs provide fast time to market and a comprehensive portfolio of professional-grade video processing and connectivity solutions across multiple end markets, such as test equipment, Pro A/V applications, and medical diagnostics.
Create flexible, high-performance 8K UHD solutions with Intel FPGAs combined with video image processing and connectivity IP cores.
Figure 1. Intel® ecosystem hardware form factors such as interactive display modules, Open Pluggable Specification (OPS+) and FPGA Vision Accelerator Boards enable new requirements and applications in high growth markets such as professional displays or retail.
