Xilinx Enables OEMs to Develop Smarter Broadcast Solutions With Availability of its Real-Time Video Engine 2.1
LAS VEGAS, April 8, 2013 -- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) is enabling broadcast equipment OEMs to speed development of next-generation Smarter solutions with today's announcement of the availability of the 2.1 release of its Real-Time Video Engine (RTVE), which runs on the OZ745 Zynq®-7045 All Programmable system-on-a-chip (SoC) baseboard from OmniTek, a Certified Xilinx® Alliance Program Member. Announced here at NAB 2013 (booth #N311), the RTVE 2.1 is a key component of the Xilinx All Programmable Smarter Vision solutions, which combines the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC, Vivado® High-Level Synthesis (HLS) with IP integrator software tools, OpenCV libraries, SmartCORE™ IP and hardware development kits to accelerate the development of applications requiring rich video analytics and exceptional real-time performance.
"The RTVE 2.1 is a comprehensive video system reference design developed with OmniTek that OEMs can use to develop new professional monitors, digital cinema projectors, routers, switchers, multiviewers, cameras and other key broadcast equipment that require high-performance video processing, particularly with multiple video streams," said Ben Runyan, director of Broadcast and Consumer Marketing at Xilinx. "The RTVE 2.1 is architected using the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC for a scalable solution that integrates up to eight simultaneous 1080p60 video channels in a single device with additional functionality running on the ARM® dual-core Cortex™-A9 MPCore™ processor and is the optimal platform to address the growing ASIC and ASSP gaps in video-based applications."
The RTVE 2.1 reference design allows for multiple video processing pipelines, running at 10-bit color depth and full 4:4:4 color subsampling and now includes a web-based GUI for easier control of the reference design. The new RTVE 2.1 release also introduces several enhancements that improve efficiency and usability, including:
- Support for up to eight channels of video for increased system performance in the same area of silicon
- OmniTek's Scalable Video Processor (OSVP) with an integrated deinterlacer/scaler along with a robust multi-port video direct memory access (VDMA) technology to minimize resources used while maintaining this high performance
Xilinx and OmniTek (booth #N4323) will both demonstrate the RTVE 2.1 on the OmniTek OZ745 Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC development platform in their booths throughout NAB. To learn more about RTVE visit www.xilinx.com/rtve.
Availability
The RTVE 2.0 lounge is available now. The RTVE 2.1 lounge will be available in Q2 2013. For more information, visit the Xilinx Broadcast web page or the OmniTek website.
About Xilinx Smarter Vision Solutions
Xilinx Smarter Vision solutions include a broad portfolio of building blocks for smarter systems, called SmartCORE™ IP. The SmartCORE IP portfolio, developed by both Xilinx and its ecosystem, includes both hardware IP targeting All Programmable logic and software IP developed for high performance ARM processors. SmartCORE IP can be rapidly integrated via the Vivado IPI (IP Integrator). Additionally, new IP can be generated from: C, C++ or SystemC with Vivado HLS (high-level synthesis), and now includes industry standard OpenCV libraries, which are supported by popular operating systems and software development environments. A wide range of design kits further accelerate design productivity for smarter systems design.
Xilinx Smarter Vision solutions leverage Xilinx FPGAs, 3D ICs and Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoCs. Xilinx All Programmable SoCs are considered the ideal platform for designers to rapidly deliver highly integrated solutions with real-time pixel processing in programmable logic with ARM processor-based analytics for ever smarter video broadcast, machine vision and immersive displays.
