Taiwanese Firm Taps Celoxica ESL Design to Accelerate HDTV Development.TAOYUAN, Taiwan -- Celoxica (AIM:CXA CxA Commissioning Authority (construction contracting) CxA Compañía Por Acciones (Spanish: Shared Company) CXA CartWheels Xtreme All-stars (Richmond, VA cheerleading program) ), today announced an agreement with Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd. (CPT CPT See: Carriage Paid To ) that deploys its electronic system level design (ESL (1) An earlier family of client/server development tools for Windows and OS/2 from Ardent Software (formerly VMARK). It was originally developed by Easel Corporation, which was acquired by VMARK. ) solutions to drive the development of volume 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 and advanced display technologies. HDTV is globally forecast to achieve double-digit growth, and as a leading provider of display products and technology, CPT selected ESL solutions from Celoxica after a program of evaluation and testing. Increasing product complexity, time-to-market pressures and evolving display standards display standards - display standard and formats motivated CPT to adopt ESL design from Celoxica. To help deliver CPT's high-definition future, the company will use Celoxica's HDTV development kit that comprises Celoxica's award-winning DK Design Suite of system design tools, PixelStreams video and imaging IP library and fully integrated RC Series programmable development platforms. This ESL solution coupled with CPT's display technology, manufacturing expertise and know-how will help the company accelerate its growth and business position in emerging HDTV markets and those growing due to regulation and government mandate. "Through our testing program we identified that we could successfully integrate design technology and IP from Celoxica as part of our overall product design strategy," said Dr. Tai, Project Manager at TFT (Thin Film Transistor) The term typically refers to active matrix screens on laptop computers. Active matrix LCD provides a sharper screen display and broader viewing angle than does passive matrix. See LCD and thin film. TFT - Thin Film transistor Business Unit. "By making use of Celoxica's PixelStreams IP library we can almost immediately implement pre- and post-image processing on an RC340 development board that supports the HDTV(p) standard. This allows us to focus on our own proprietary algorithms and increase productivity." CPT finalized their decision following the results of a commercial project to enhance advanced HDTV back-projection. Using the PixelStreams IP library and RC340 platform supplied with the HDTV development kit, pre-built functionality was rapidly verified and implemented. CPT's proprietary algorithms were written in C code and implemented in parallel onto the board level hardware using the DK Design Suite.

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Celoxica, commented, "CPT is leading ESL design into yet another very high volume application and I am delighted that they have selected Celoxica as their system level design partner. The level of product complexity and time-to-market pressures that the HDTV business faces typifies the challenges that our ESL solutions can solve."
