Omnitek IP-cores are a success with Xilinx customers

Omnitek also provides a design service and consultancy, for example to add unique features or to assist with interfacing to the various high speed video transport methods: 12G-SDI; DisplayPort 1.2; HDMI 2.0; Vx1; and LVDS.

Omnitek will be targetting the IP-cores for customers involved in the high resolution video signal path from single or multiple camera capture via video over IP networks, military and teleconferencing, to interactive and multi-monitor projector display systems.

The ability to incorporate these IP cores swiftly and efficiently into customer designs avoids re-invention of key technologies and allows Xilinx and Omnitek customers to reduce their design costs, material costs and time-to-market.

“With the latest version of Xilinx’s Real-Time Video Engine reference design based on Omnitek’s Scalable Video Processor IP core, we are seeing a growing number of customers adopting FPGAs rather than standard video chips, particularly in the pro A/V market where demand for multichannel 4K video processing in video walls and interactive displays is at its highest,” said Aaron Behman, Director Broadcast, Xilinx.

Engineered for the Vivado Design Suite, Omnitek’s IP-cores are incorporated in customer designs using the IP Integrator. Xilinx’s Real Time Video Engine (RTVE) reference designs include Omnitek’s OSVP scalable video processor IP suite, which supports from standard definition video up to 4K and frame rates up to 120Hz. The latest RTVE version is RTVE 3.1, which includes Xilinx connectivity IP to provide a finished design representative of many customer applications.

The RTVE 3.1 design incorporates an API and an application to drive the RTVE engine from a web-based interface.
