The latest generation of Altera^® high-end FPGAs, the Stratix^® III device family provides 50% lower power, 25% better performance and 2X the density of previous families. Leverage Stratix III FPGA features and capabilities to create innovative, differentiated products with fewer resources and in less time.

Audio/Video Capture and Processing

From capture, audio/video effects processing, post-production editing and transmission to analog and standard-definition technology, in-studio applications are quickly being upgraded to high-definition video. Stratix III FPGAs are an ideal platform for updating and creating real-time high-definition audio/video effects and implementing standards such as SMPTE 424M for 3G SD.

Featuring industry-leading performance and flexibility, Stratix III FPGAs deliver:

• Up to 896 18 x 18 multipliers operating at up to 550 MHz
• Up to 17Mbits of on-chip memory operating at up to 600 MHz
• 400 MHz DDR3 external memory interfaces
• Video and image processing intellectual property (IP) suite
• Development kits that allow real-time video processing

Modulation and Demodulation

Cable, satellite, and terrestrial video-service providers use digital television (DTV) demodulators to receive video programs over broadcast mediums such as coaxial cable or over-the-air transmission, and transform the data back into digital video, audio, and ancillary data.

Perfect for implementing modem functionality from QPSK to QAM and OFDM with complete solutions, Stratix III FPGAs include:

• DSP Builder development software based on The MathWorks Simulink tools
• Extensive IP libraries with filters, transforms and encoders/decoders
• Many example reference designs
• DSP development kits that allow real-time operation

Video Transport

Television service providers use video delivery equipment in cable, terrestrial, satellite plants, and electronic news-gathering vans. Video delivery equipment includes modulators/demodulators, encoders/decoders, encryptors/decryptors, transport stream multiplexer/de-multiplexers, video editors, network routers, test equipment, and video servers. The Stratix III device family is suitable for all video-transport applications, offering you:

• Altera IP and reference designs for video-over-Internet protocol
• Audio/video development kit for rapid system integration
