Barco Makes Broadcast and Distribution Monitoring Over IP a Reality With Altera Programmable Solutions
Altera FPGAs and embedded processors are helping Barco extend its leadership in managed broadcast monitoring equipment by delivering unprecedented video processing and networking integration for its Networked Broadcast Monitoring System. Barco’s choice of Altera’s programmable solutions allows them to integrate more functionality into a single chip and realize lower product costs as a result.
Barco’s Networked Broadcast Monitoring System goes beyond the basic multi-viewer system towards facility-wide monitoring. This high-end solution allows high-quality, low latency distribution of video sources and metadata over an IP network towards multiple screens, even in different control rooms, and offers ultimate flexibility for broadcast and distribution monitoring. Barco’s Networked Broadcast Monitoring System enables the operator to monitor the broadcast process and visualize the video content in real-time from anywhere in the facility.
“In each Networked Broadcast Monitoring System, a single Stratix® II FPGA performs critical compute-intensive video scaling, high-speed network interfacing, and control functions via a Nios® II embedded processor. This integration of several components worth of application-specific standard products (ASSPs) and an off-the-shelf processor into one device increases the compactness, cost-effectiveness, and reliability of our offering.”
