Video Conferencing
Real-time video, audio, processing, and IP connectivity on one FPGA platform for scalable, low-latency conferencing.
Flexible AVoIP for Every Room
From small huddle spaces to large conference rooms, Altera FPGA-based AVoIP platforms connect cameras, microphones, displays, and speakers over standard IP networks, enabling scalable video conferencing with flexible interfaces and real-time processing.
Designers can combine camera capture, ISP, video and audio processing, codecs, packetization, and system control in a configurable platform. Support for MIPI, HDMI, DisplayPort, ST 2110, IPMX, and NDI helps products scale from a single room to multi-room deployments.
The Challenges, and Why FPGA
The Challenge
Multi-Interface Signal Transport
Diverse camera, display, and network interfaces must transport video reliably while preserving bandwidth, timing, and low latency.
Why FPGA
Flexible Multi-Interface FPGA IP
FPGAs consolidate diverse interfaces and real-time processing in one adaptable platform, simplifying upgrades as video standards evolve.
