Industry Leaders Gather to Showcase DSP Ecosystem at Altera's Code:DSP Seminar

Global Companies Provide Products and Solutions for DSP Applications

San Jose, Calif., June 6, 2005—System designers seeking cost-effective, performance-driven digital signal processing (DSP) solutions won’t want to miss Altera Corporation’s (NASDAQ: ALTR) Code:DSP Video, Image, and Signal Processing Seminar taking place this month in five cities in North America and Europe. The seminar brings together leading companies from Altera’s DSP ecosystem to demonstrate a range of products optimized for Altera’s latest FPGA device families. Attendees will learn about:

  • Design flows including MATLAB/Simulink and ‘C’ Language EDA tools
  • Compression solutions: JPEG2000, MPEG4, H.264, and Windows Media 9
  • Video I/O implementations including ASI, HD/SD-SDI, and video-over-IP
  • Lowering costs using CycloneTM II FPGAs and HardCopy® II structured ASICs
  • Architecting systems with digital signal processors and FPGA co-processors

Event sponsors include Texas Instruments, The MathWorks, Mentor Graphics, Synplicity, Celoxica, and Barco. Other companies participating include Aldec, ASTEC, ATEME, D3 Engineering, Inlet, Intrinsix, Gidel, GDA Technologies, MangoDSP, Silicon Spectrum, and Vanteon. Industry experts from Altera’s DSP partners will discuss emerging technologies and give presentations at the seminar designed to update and educate engineers, system architects, and project managers on video, image, and signal processing solutions.

“The partnership between Altera and The MathWorks provides DSP system designers the ability to address the next-generation of high-performance DSP applications,” said Ken Karnofsky, DSP and Communications marketing director for The MathWorks. “By using the The MathWorks’ Simulink and Altera’s DSP Builder and SOPC Builder tools, engineers can quickly develop systems for video and image processing and high-speed digital communications in a powerful design environment.”

“Altera’s ecosystem, which includes industry leaders in the DSP world, represents the leading edge in DSP system design,” added Brian Jentz, Altera’s DSP marketing manager. “From algorithm design and simulation to video encoding, the ecosystem provides designers with all the tools they need to take advantage of the DSP capabilities of Altera’s industry-leading FPGAs.”
