Head End/Delivery Center

Along with the feature-rich architecture of Altera's Stratix^® and Arria^® series FPGAs, Altera and its partners offer reference designs and intellectual property (IP) for implementing various head-end solutions. These solutions include video capture interfaces, high-performance digital signal processing (DSP) functions, memory controllers, and video processing and compression functions. The solutions (see Table 1) provide flexibility, performance, integration, and design resources that are not available from any competitor's solution.
