As high resolution cameras and displays spread to medical, AV, events, military and telecomms applications, the need for practical, real world video processing solutions has grown. Simultaneously, FPGA processing capacity has grown to allow more ambitious designs. Omnitek provides off-the-shelf and bespoke designs for video equipment manufacturers, allowing them to focus on USPs without needing expensive R&D teams.

Omnitek’s Scalable Video Processor (OSVP) IP suite has grown from multichannel full HD to encompass 4K (UHD-1) and 8K (UHD-2) designs, High Frame Rate (HFR) designs and colour space conversion for wider colour gamut requirements. These designs have an inherent need for high speed data transfer, which is another Omnitek speciality – both within OSVP and as a separate IP-core.

Efficient and fast video data transfer for CPU-based systems whether Linux, Windows or Embedded is provided by Omnitek’s PCI Express DMA Controller IP-core. Optimised for video and heavily used in processor-hungry video applications such as high resolution camera capture and low-latency display applications, the PCI Express DMA Controller comes with a reference design showing UHDTV capture and playout from a PC.

New for NAB is the announcement of support for up to Gen three 8 lanes. Omnitek’s technology is on display at NAB Las Vegas 13th to 16th April on booth N3114, where visitors can also meet the principal consultants to discuss their design requirements.
