Industry''s first Broadcast Connectivity Targeted Design Platform with Virtex-6 FPGAs enables high bandwidth, low-power triple rate SDI applications
TOKYO, Nov. 17 -- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ:XLNX) today introduced the industry''s first Broadcast Connectivity Targeted Design Platform with Xilinx® Virtex®-6 FPGAs to simplify development of serial digital interface (SDI) solutions for high-performance broadcast audio and video systems. The broadcast connectivity platform accelerates time to market and differentiation of professional broadcast audio, video and network connectivity products, including cameras, switchers, routers, encoders, professional monitors, and cinema projectors.
With the new high-performance broadcast connectivity platform, broadcast equipment engineers can rapidly build multi-protocol broadcast systems that require high-bandwidth, low-power serial connectivity interfaces. Multiple channels of standard definition (SD), high definition (HD), and 3G-SDI video can be implemented in a single Virtex-6 device that includes up to 24 power-optimized high-speed transceivers supporting line rates of up to 6.5Gbps. Xilinx is showcasing the Broadcast Connectivity Targeted Design Platform at InterBEE 2009 November 18th through November 20th, featuring live demonstrations in Xilinx Booth 6115 in Hall 6 at the Makuhari Messe in Tokyo.
