53.1. About the Warp IP

The Warp IP applies a warp (image transform) to a video stream. It processes RGB or YUV video streams at resolutions of up to 3840x2160 at 120 fps or 7680x4320 at 30 fps. It can process one, two, four, eight pixels in parallel.

The Warp IP offers mipmaps that allow arbitrary warps up to a limit of 256:1 downscale ratio. Without mipmaps, the Warp IP can only can process arbitrary warps up to a limit of 2:1 for the effective downscale ratio. If, in any region, the warp produces an output image that is downscaled by more than this limit from the input image, an error occurs in the IP software.

Typical applications include:

  • Camera lens distortion correction
  • Projector system distortion correction

You can turn on Use Easy warp for resolutions up to UHD. This parameter offers reduced resource and memory bandwidth requirements. Turn on Use Easy warp for mirroring and rotations that are a multiple of 90° (0°, 90°, 180° and 270°).

The IP only supports lite variants. For more information about full and lite variants, refer to the Intel FPGA Streaming Video Protocol Specification
