This application note provides a framework for rapid development of video and image processing systems
The document details a framework for rapid development of video and image processing systems using parameterizable MegaCore functions. It demonstrates dynamic scaling and clipping of standard definition video streams in NTSC or PAL formats, along with picture-in-picture mixing, outputting high-definition resolution over a digital video interface (DVI).
The example design utilizes an Altera Cyclone III EP3C120 development board connected via high-speed mezzanine card interfaces to Bitec HSMC Quad Video and DVI daughtercards. The system is configured using the Qsys system level design tool, integrating video processing data paths with a Nios II processor for control.
The design supports standard definition video streams in either NTSC or PAL format.
The video stream is output in high definition resolution of 1024x768.
You need a Cyclone III Video Development Kit, an NTSC video source, and a monitor with a DVI interface.
