Intel® Arria® 10 UHD Video Reference Design
Overview
Intel® Arria® 10 UHD video reference design demonstrates upscaling, downscaling, and cross-conversion of 4K60 10 bit video processing. The design uses key Video Image Processing Suite features, such as the scaler, frame buffer, and clipper. Video is input and output through integrated HDMI 2.0 intellectual property (IP). The design has three modes; changing scaling mode (pb0), changing output resolution (pb1), and toggling the icon display on/off (pb2).

Reference Design Features
- Intel HMDI v2.0 MegaCore® function and Video and Image Processing Suite IP
- Two-channel up-, down-, and cross-conversion: polyphase scaling, motion adaptive deinterlacing, mixing, and frame-rate conversion for resolutions up to 4k60
- HDMI v2.0 input and output video streams, which supports 1080p or 2160p at 60 fps
- Interchangeable input and output connectivity interface to any HDMI, serial digital interface (SDI), DisplayPort, or Ethernet standards
- Single 10 bit RGB processing pipeline with software configurable up and down scaling
- 12 x 12 tap down-scaler
- 16 x 16 phase, 4 x 4 tap up-scaler
- Triple buffer video frame buffer to provide frame rate conversion from a variable input frame rate to the fixed output rate of 60 fps.
- Mixer with alpha-blending allowing OSD icon overlay.
Demo Requirements
Hardware
