Altera Video and Image Processing Suite
The Video and Image Processing Suite is a collection of intellectual property (IP) cores that you can use to facilitate the development of custom video and image processing (VIP) designs. These cores are suitable for use in a wide variety of image processing and display applications in the broadcast, professional audio video (pro-AV), industrial, automotive, military, and medical market segments. The Video and Image Processing Suite features cores that range from simple building block functions, such as color-space conversion to sophisticated video-scaling functions that can implement programmable polyphase scaling. Together with an easily integrated connectivity portfolio, the Video and Image Processing Suite presents a compre-hensive system design philosophy for rapid new design creation and easy integration of custom value-added features.
