CTXIL406 (Xilinx ML571)
Xilinx Serial Digital Video Board for HD-SDI, SDI and DVB-ASI
The integration of
multi- gigabit serial I/O into the Virtex-II Pro family of FPGAs from
Xilinx has enabled the support of many more networking standards than
previously possible. This now includes HD-SDI (SMPTE292M), SDI (SMPTE259M),
and DVB-ASI. These popular standards offer high-bandwidth transmission
between various video applications in the head end, edit suite, or studio,
and can take a significant portion of the bill of materials, particularly
when there's a need for multiple channels. However, integrating the network
protocols into a Xilinx FPGA means that the overall system cost can be
considerably reduced. Basing your system on Xilinx FPGAs gives you the
flexibility to meet your exact requirements, supporting standard interfaces
but still enabling you to differentiate from your competition.
The Xilinx SDV Board
demonstrates that it is now viable to integrate HD-SDI, SDI, and DVB-ASI
encoders and decoders into an FPGA, thus enabling the use of lower cost
cable drivers and equalizers, and lowering the total bill of materials
required for these video channels. Typical ASSP solutions for implementing
a single serial digital video channel can cost almost $200, but it is now
possible to reduce this by over 80% using a Xilinx FPGA-based solution.
Using an FPGA rather than just ASSPs also gives you the added flexibility
of being able to modify the device to support other video functions in the
extra space - effectively giving you this added functionality at no extra
cost.
The CTXIL406 has the
following: Xilinx Virtex 5 LX50T, 2 pairs of 3Gig HD-SDI transceivers, 1
pair SelectIO Transceivers, 2 pairs of AES audio transceivers, Compact
flash card for program loading, Xilinx XGI daughter card interface (same as
on the ML50x cards), high speed DDR memory, 2 pairs of Gig Ethernet, 7
on board clock sources, and a high speed clock module interface.
