TerasIC Stratix V GX FPGA Video (K0117)

Overview

The Stratix V GX FPGA Video Development System fills the need for the highest bandwidth, best performance video applications. The kit features an extensive feature-set of memories, including DDR3, QDRII+, and RLDRAM II. The QSFP optical cage, PCIe x8 edge connectors, SDI, and gigabit Ethernet options allow for blazingly fast interfacing with peripherals.

The DVI-HSMC daughter card part of the bundled package will allow developers to access high quality and high resolution video signals that can support resolution up to 1600x1200. A complete DVI video controller design with source code is provided.

Terasic recognized for its strong design expertise in high-end video, imaging and multimedia products have made available a video development package that targets video processing development. The platform can also allow users to experience advanced image processing designs incorporating VIP (Altera’s Video and Image Processing Suite MegaCore Functions).
