Implementing Video Systems (Legacy Course) (ODSP1118)

Course Description

This training introduces Altera’s video platform & design flow. It will highlight various design considerations & debugging techniques. You will understand the algorithmic constraints of video & image processing IP. You will learn to decode Avalon streaming video data & control packets. You will learn how to run-time configure your video & image processing algorithms. You will be able to accurately estimate the external memory bandwidth requirements & implement efficient memory architecture for your system. Furthermore, you will see how the clocked videos are translated to/from Avalon ST video packets & how genlock & framelock can be achieved with Altera’s video solution. Finally, you will learn how to best debug your video system & to extend the capabilities of existing design examples.
