<strong>Video</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Image</strong> <strong>Processing</strong> <strong>Up</strong> <strong>Conversion</strong> <strong>Example</strong> <strong>Design</strong><br />
Possible <strong>Video</strong><br />
System<br />
Configurations<br />
Many new <strong>and</strong> exciting innovations, such as high definition television<br />
(HDTV) <strong>and</strong> digital cinema, revolve around video <strong>and</strong> image processing<br />
<strong>and</strong> this technology's rapid evolution. Leaps forward in image capture<br />
<strong>and</strong> display resolutions, advanced compression techniques, <strong>and</strong> video<br />
intelligence are the driving forces behind the technological innovation.<br />
The move from st<strong>and</strong>ard definition (SD) to high definition (HD)<br />
represents a 6× increase in data that needs to be processed. <strong>Video</strong><br />
surveillance is also moving from common intermediate format (CIF)<br />
(352×288) to D1 format (704×576) as a st<strong>and</strong>ard requirement, with some<br />
industrial cameras even moving to HD at 1280×720. Military surveillance,<br />
medical imaging, <strong>and</strong> machine vision applications are also moving to<br />
very high resolution images.<br />
With exp<strong>and</strong>ing resolutions there is a need for high performance while<br />
keeping architectures flexible to allow for quick upgradeability.<br />
All of the processing functions within the Altera <strong>Video</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Image</strong><br />
<strong>Processing</strong> Suite are configurable to allow the user to satisfy common<br />
performance <strong>and</strong> cost requirements over a wide range of SD <strong>and</strong> HD<br />
resolutions. In addition, the processing functions have common data <strong>and</strong><br />
control interfaces, providing a flexible <strong>and</strong> extendible framework for<br />
developing complex video pre- <strong>and</strong> post-processing data paths.<br />
This section describes a number of video systems that could be<br />
constructed using the <strong>Video</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Image</strong> <strong>Processing</strong> Suite MegaCore<br />
functions.<br />
Single <strong>Video</strong> Channel Input<br />
The video up conversion example design is a good starting point for<br />
developing single video stream input applications.<br />
The example design demonstrates how to construct a video data path that<br />
performs deinterlacing, chroma resampling, color space conversion <strong>and</strong><br />
scaling.<br />
The Altera <strong>Video</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Image</strong> <strong>Processing</strong> Suite MegaCore functions all<br />
have common data <strong>and</strong> control interfaces. These common interfaces<br />
make it easy to extend the data path in the example design to perform<br />
additional functions such as filtering, gamma correction or picture in<br />
picture mixing with a static image from memory.<br />
