Bitec have made available a cost effective kit targeted at Video processing development using a Cyclone III device for the core processing. The kit contains the Cyclone III FPGA Development Kit which utilizes an EP3C129 device and two HSMC video interface cards together with a collection of IP cores and reference designs. The kit provides a variety of video interface standards including both digital and analogue up to HD resolutions.

The Bitec Cyclone III Video Development Kit provides an integrated solution for developers wishing to utilize the Cyclone III device for video applications. With a growing collection of reference designs based on the Altera VIP suit, development time is reduced to the minimum.

With two independent 32-bit DDR2 memory interfaces, the Cyclone III VDK is able to tackle the most challenging High Definition video applications.

HSMC DVI EDID Update This sof updates the EDID EEPROM on the HSMC DVI board to correctly report 1080P@50
Altera DSP Video Processing Reference Design The Altera® video and image processing example design demonstrates up conversion from a standard definition (SD) video stream in national television system committee (NTSC) format and picture-in-picture mixing with a background layer.
DVI 1080P Loop-through (Beta) This reference design demonstrates a DDR2 SDRAM loopthrough of a 1080P@50. An input image on the DVI port is tripple-buffered through the top and bottom banks of DDR2 SDRAM before transmitting on the DVI output port.
Quad Video Mosaic This reference design takes four composite video inputs and displays a mosaic on the DVI output port
Optrex Display Driver This reference design shows how to drive the VDK Optrex LCD Screen
1080P Colour-Space-Conversion reference design (Beta) This reference design performs colour-space-conversion on a 1080P@50 input image stream. The input RGB stream is converted to YCrCb typically used on HDMI receivers.
1080P PiP Reference design (Beta) This reference design demos 1080P@50 Picture-in-Picture. A single Quad Video composite signal is superimposed on a 1080P background video stream.
NEW 1080P 4x PiP Reference design v8.1 This reference design overlays the 4 NTSC inputs onto a 1080P background image. Enhanced features of the v8.1 VIP Suit and the two independent DDR2 banks are exploited to achieve this outstanding demonstration of the VDK. Requires Quartus II version 8.1
