The ICS-8580 builds on our strong base of installed video compression and transmission solutions. Designed to provide market-leading video compression and transmission technology for standarddefinition or high-definition video sources, it provides unsurpassed video capture and compression capability on a single XMC site.
The ICS-8580 provides input support for HD/ED/SD analog input signals, including sync on green modes, and also digital input formats such as HD-SDI up to a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 pixels at 30 frames/sec. An Altera Arria II GX FPGA combined with TI DSP signal processing provide unparalleled compute power in a video XMC platform.
Two TI TMS320DM6467 DSPs provide processing capability to achieve 2 streams of up to 1080p encoding in H.264 AVC. Up to 4 streams of SD input data can be compressed in parallel. The encoded bitstream can be accessed via Gigabit Ethernet RTP/UDP packets.
High-speed ADC devices provide input digitization of the various supported analog video formats. The FPGA controls data capture and routing and can be used in a variety of ways. The TI DSP co-processorsprovide efficient and streamlined video data processing. The standard out-of-the box application will supply H.264 video compression and transmission using an Ethernet connection from the XMC.
The system is flexible enough that, with minimal modification, it can provide Ethernet output from the host PC, support 2x 1080i/p30 streams, or 4x SD video streams at full frame rates and resolutions. When necessary, the ICS-8580 can be loaded with
custom FPGA and DSP code to perform a broad range video processing functions on the video input streams. Data input and output connectivity is available using a carrier card or via rear I/O. Analog or digital input data can be supported through the rear I/O connectors.
Up to 768 MB of DDR2 SDRAM is supplied on-board. The FPGA has 256 MB and each DSP device has 256 MB.
The ICS-8580 can be used on any carrier card that provides an XMC interface. In order to fully utilize the rear I/O capabilities, appropriate carrier card and backplane routing will be necessary with consideration for analog signal integrity, and in compliance with VITA 46.9 standard.
