Promwad Secured Another Intel FPGA Design-Win for Pro A/V & Broadcast Equipment Manufacturer

A prominent manufacturer of professional A/V and broadcast equipment approached Promwad to design a next-generation Intel FPGA-based solution. Being a certified Intel design partner and a proven expert in video streaming solutions and adaptive computing systems, we secured a design win.

We designed a compact solution that provides a professional real-time way to exchange high-definition signals. It is a bi-directional single-link to the quad-link converter. It helps to avoid transformation loss for signals. We built it on Intel Cyclone 10 GX.

We provided schematic and PCB design along with software development for this 3G/12G SDI gearbox. It makes conversion of the SDI video streams:

• 12G (2SI) >> 4x3G (2SI);
• 12G (2SI) >> 4x3G (SQD);
• 4x3G (2SI) >> 12G (2SI);
• 4x3G (SQD) >> 12G (2SI).

As you can see, the device supports both SQD and 2SI modes. Here is a solution block diagram to give you an overall idea of the engineering solution:


 

The market shows a growing demand for terminal equipment for the Professional Television Broadcast and Audio/Video markets. We observe direct and indirect evidence of this trend in analytical reports, in communication with our clients and partners, and from our personal experience as a regular visitor to trade shows, such as IBC (it was canceled last November due to the COVID pandemic but this temporary break does not change the general trend).

Are you struggling to find a reliable partner for a professional A/V equipment upgrade? Or maybe you seek your solution redesign due to the post-COVID electronic components shortage? Our two engineering competence centers in video streaming and adaptive computing systems are here to meet your specific needs on a win-win basis.
