Virtex-5 FPGA Reference Designs for Serial Digital Video - Xilinx

Xilinx introduced new reference designs supporting the Dual Link and 3G-SDI serial digital video standards based on Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGAs.

Andy DeBaets, Xilinx, said

By offering a complete suite of new video connectivity designs at the nascent point of these standards, our objective is to present all broadcast equipment providers with the means to implement next generation interfaces with as little effort as possible. This is an example of how Xilinx is a true solutions provider…

The Xilinx ML571 evaluation board can also be utilized as an interoperability testing platform for a variety of professional broadcast and digital cinema applications that require these new interfaces for which there is no 3G-SDI test equipment currently available. The Xilinx portfolio of serial digital audio and video solutions is the widest available for any FPGA enabling designers to quickly and easily implement these free of charge. Designers can focus their efforts on the value-add portions of their system.

The new reference for Dual Link and 3G-SDI serial digital video designs will showcase in this week's NAB, April 16-19, Las Vegas Convention Center.
