4K Video over IP workflows

Considering the necessary bandwidth for the next generation of television with UHDTV resolutions and higher frame rates, live uncompressed transport across 10GB Ethernet network or existing SDI infrastructure is not possible anymore. In fact, uncompressed 4K video at 60fps 4:2:2 requires 12Gbps or more for 4:4:4.

Sharing NVMe SSDs for heterogeneous architectures

New computing applications, such as big data analytics and deep learning, need very optimized and well balanced computing, networking and storage resources. After being developed on CPU-centric architectures, it is now going on heterogeneous architectures by using computing accelerators like FPGAs and GPUs.

Convey UHD 4K Video over 1Gbit Ethernet with the intoPIX JPEG 2000 "Ultra Low Latency" compression profile

Considering the uncompressed bandwidth of a UHD 4K video stream in 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 and the massive amount of deployed Gigabit Ethernet infrastructures, a codec that can offer the same benefits in terms of quality, latency and reliability as uncompressed transport, with a sufficient compression ratio to go under 1Gbit/second, is a key advantage.

Layout Database File Control: The Missing Link

As the exchange of layout descriptions between teams involved in modern integrated circuit (IC) development and production increase in terms of rate, value and size, the need for control and reliability increases as well. While regular integrity control –– cyclic redundancy checks, cryptographic hash functions and error correcting codes, for example –– can be used, they quickly show their limits.

NVMe host IP for computing accelerator

NVM Express (NVMe) SSDs are well adopted by the storage industry. It delivers high performances in term of IOPS, throughput and latency. It comes with a various range of capacity and form factors including PCIe Add-In-Card, 2.5" U.2, M.2 and recently as a single BGA chip.

Multi-Channel Multi-Rate (MCMR) Forward Error Correction (FEC) - IP for High Speed Networking Applications

The need for higher and higher bandwidth is growing, which is pushing the SerDes speed to 56G and beyond. The next generation of networking devices are already pushing for 400G bandwidth and above. Both the OIF CEI-56G and IEEE working groups have ratified the 56G specifications, and for higher speed SerDes, PAM4 signaling is the way forward.
