element14 Lattice presents HDR 60 Video Development Kit

Overview

Lattice and element14 together presents LatticeECP3-70 FPGA based the Lattice HDR-60 Video Camera Development KitLattice HDR-60 Video Camera Development Kit, it's fully production ready High Dynamic Range (HDR) camera, designed to fit into commercially available camera housings. The hardware is designed to support full 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second in streaming mode through the FPGA, without the need for any external frame buffer.

The integrated 'IONOS' Image Signal Processing (ISP) IP pipeline from Lattice partner, Helion GmbH, provides end-to-end ISP support from sensor to displayable image, and incorporates sensor interfacing, defective pixel correction & 2D noise reduction, high quality 5 x 5 DeBayer, Color Correction Matrix, Fast Auto Exposure, Auto White Balance, HDR, Gamma Correction and Overlay (both character and graphics). Lattice HDMI PHY IP enables output to HDMI/DVI monitors. The kit provides the industry’s fastest Auto-Exposure, very high quality Auto White Balance and HDR greater than 120dB. On board Broadcom Broadreach PHY enables support for Ethernet over coax up to a run length of 700 meters. The hardware supports up to 16-megapixel sensors, can support up to 2 sensors simultaneously and is easily programmable via standard low-cost USB cable.

This kit gives the jump start to manufacturer and developers in their FPGA-based high definition camera programs by providing a high quality HDR Video Camera reference design engineered to minimize system BOM, while addressing both legacy infrastructure and future-proofing the customer’s investment. With full 1080p60 support and the ability to scale up to 16MP sensors, as well as support for Ethernet over coaxial cable, the Lattice HDR-60 Development Kit offers nearly twice the functionality at less than half the price of any comparable kit currently available.

The LatticeECP3 FPGA family is comprised of the lowest power, SERDES-enabled FPGAs in the market today. The family’s five FPGAs offer standards-compliant, multi-protocol 3.2G SERDES, DDR1/2/3 memory interfaces and high performance, cascadable DSP slices that are ideal for RF, baseband and image signal processing. Toggling at 1Gbps, the LatticeECP3 FPGAs also feature fast LVDS I/O as well as embedded memory of up to 6.8 Mbits. Logic density varies from 17K LUTs to 149K LUTs with up to 586 user I/O.

Key Applications: High volume cost- and Power-sensitive video camera and display, Wireline and wireless infrastructure applications.
