National Semiconductor has introduced the industry’s first triple-rate (3G/HD/SD) serial digital interface (SDI) and video clocking daughter card development kits that maximise system performance and simplify the design of new broadcast video equipment.
The new Altera MT-PBX tubing uses a single-wall construction of polyether block amide copolymer (PEBA) to achieve shrink ratios of either 2:1 or 4:1, with custom ratios available.
As video and imaging equipment deployment shifts toward high definition and next-generation video compression standards, the computational performance required has outstripped what stand-alone digital signal processors (DSPs) can provide.
For the third time, the EDN Innovation Awards recognised excellence in Australian and New Zealand electronics engineering. During a very enjoyable gala dinner at L'Aqua, Cockle Bay Wharf, Sydney, the winners and highly commended for each of the six categories were announced.
The Navman 8084 is a multifunction display featuring: 8.4” SVGA LCD screen, GPS chart plotter, built-in 1 kW sonar, radar compatibility, video input for cameras and DVD, and integration with other on-board instruments and engine data. Most of the FPGA blocks, such LCD and memory drivers,
Cleverscope announced a major hardware upgrade for their USB based oscilloscopes. The new models are the CS320A, which has two analogue inputs, and the CS328A, with two analogue and eight digital inputs.
Already in mobile communication applications such as software defined radio (SDR), it is only a matter of time before FPGAs will appear in the broad base handset market.
