Celoxica Unveils Next-Generation Video and Imaging Platform; RC340 Programmable Platform Fully Integrated Into ESL-design Flows for Real-Time Video, Image and Data Streaming Applications
OXFORDSHIRE, England—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 30, 2006—
Celoxica (LSE:CXA) today announced availability of the
RC340, the company's latest programmable platform for designers of
advanced digital video and imaging applications. The RC340 is for
prototyping and development of high-performance, high-throughput FPGA
and soft-core microprocessor-based applications such as HDTV,
broadcast, robotics and industrial vision systems, video compression,
video distribution, high-speed encrypted VPN, packet filtering and
network intrusion detection.
The RC340 includes a 16M Gate Xilinx Virtex 4 FPGA, direct access
to 32Mbytes of pipelined SRAM, a DIMM socket for DRAM and is supported
with a wide range of video I/O and peripherals. The RC340 is also
available with the PixelStreams video IP library and a complete suite
of electronic system level (ESL) design software for new levels of
hardware/software integration.
High-performance video, including stereoscopic video applications,
is enabled by the dual video inputs and outputs, including both
digital video to the DVI standard and analog video. As an option, the
board can be supplied with a high-resolution 1024x768 12.1-inch
TFT/Touchscreen offering a quality and size of display unique in the
industry, and a mobile and compact demonstration vehicle for imaging
applications such as in-car infotainment and mobile devices.
Communications are provided by dual gigabit Ethernet MAC/PHYs and
10/100/1000baseT sockets offering capability for data streaming, data
distribution and high performance network applications. The board also
offers a USB 2.0 connection for high-speed bit file download and for
host to FPGA application communications. To assist with debug,
application status reporting and user interaction, the board has 8
user-programmable LEDs and a four-line, 16 character LCD display as
well as audio in/out, including SPDIF digital out, PS2 keyboard and
mouse connectors and dual RS232 ports. The board also provides an
SDCard socket for the storage of bit files for the FPGA and user
application data.
"The RC340 is the latest and very capable addition to our industry
proven and widely adopted RC300 Series of programmable platforms,"
said Graham McKenzie, product marketing manager for Celoxica. "Board
level features and architecture have been optimized for high
performance real-time video and imaging applications and the board is
available stand alone or fully integrated into our ESL design software
and video IP libraries."
Pricing and Availability
The RC340 is available immediately with prices starting at
$12,500. The RC340 is also available via a range of application
specific Development Kits provided by Celoxica.
