Video Processing Platforms

High-End Video Platform VSP150/70

The development platform VSP150/70 has been developed in cooperation with VICOS (Visual Communication Systems GmbH) and helps to implement video & surveillance applications easily and efficient.

VSP150 Board von VICOS

The VSP family is characterized by comprehensive video interfaces and offers the possibility of individual extensions via additional slots.

When choosing components great importance has been attached to choosing high quality components for creating a stable and versatile platform. The new ECP3 150/70 FPGA components by Lattice Semiconductor represent the core of the system.

Besides FPGA for image processing a further slot is available where an additional module, e.g. for data compression (H. 264), may be integrated. The system also comprises an expansion slot for applications requiring a very large bandwidth. 12 Gbit/s are supported in full-duplex operation.

These components are also suitable for the prototyping of comprehensive FPGA applications since they offer up to 150 000 lookup tables, comprehensive DSP structures for filters, a maximum of 7-Mbit memory for numerous line memories and the high quality SERDES channels which are required for HD-SDI applications.

Typical applications

• Conversion of video formats
• Video data filtering/modification
• Actuation of several displays
• Picture-in-picture applications
• OSD (On Screen Display) applications
• Compression of video data
• Transmission of video data via Gbit Ethernet
• Picture stabilisation
