Celoxica Unveils Next-Generation Video and Imaging Platform; RC340 Programmable Platform Fully Integrated Into ESL-design Flows for Real-Time Video, Image and Data Streaming Applications.OXFORDSHIRE, England -- Celoxica (LSE LSE - Language Sensitive Editor :CXA CxA Commissioning Authority (construction contracting) CxA Compañía Por Acciones (Spanish: Shared Company) CXA CartWheels Xtreme All-stars (Richmond, VA cheerleading program) ) today announced availability of the RC340, the company's latest programmable platform for designers of advanced digital video and imaging applications. The RC340 is for prototyping and development of high-performance, high-throughput FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) A type of gate array that is programmed in the field rather than in a semiconductor fab. Containing up to hundreds of thousands of gates, there are a variety of FPGA architectures on the market. and soft-core microprocessor-based applications such as HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates , broadcast, robotics and industrial vision systems, video compression, video distribution, high-speed encrypted VPN, packet filtering and network intrusion detection. The RC340 includes a 16M Gate Xilinx Virtex 4 FPGA, direct access to 32Mbytes of pipelined SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory , a DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) A printed circuit board that holds memory chips and plugs into a DIMM socket on the motherboard. See memory module. DIMM - Dual In-Line Memory Module socket for DRAM and is supported with a wide range of video I/O and peripherals. The RC340 is also available with the PixelStreams video IP library and a complete suite of electronic system level (ESL) design software for new levels of hardware/software integration. High-performance video, including stereoscopic video applications, is enabled by the dual video inputs and outputs, including both digital video to the DVI standard and analog video. As an option, the board can be supplied with a high-resolution 1024x768 12.1-inch TFT/Touchscreen offering a quality and size of display unique in the industry, and a mobile and compact demonstration vehicle for imaging applications such as in-car infotainment and mobile devices. Communications are provided by dual gigabit Ethernet MAC/PHYs and 10/100/1000baseT sockets offering capability for data streaming, data distribution and high performance network applications. The board also offers a USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. 2.0 connection for high-speed bit file download and for host to FPGA application communications. To assist with debug, application status reporting and user interaction, the board has 8 user-programmable LEDs and a four-line, 16 character LCD display as well as audio in/out, including SPDIF See S/PDIF. digital out, PS2 keyboard and mouse connectors and dual RS232 ports. The board also provides an SDCard socket for the storage of bit files for the FPGA and user application data. "The RC340 is the latest and very capable addition to our industry proven and widely adopted RC300 Series of programmable platforms," said Graham McKenzie, product marketing manager for Celoxica. "Board level features and architecture have been optimized for high performance real-time video and imaging applications and the board is available stand alone or fully integrated into our ESL design software and video IP libraries." Pricing and Availability The RC340 is available immediately with prices starting at $12,500. The RC340 is also available via a range of application specific Development Kits provided by Celoxica.
