Cast launches IP cores for image scaling
Cast
IP cores
New IP cores for image scaling, video deinterlacing and graphics acceleration are now available in Cast's Video and Image IP core product line.
Cast offers a range of video and image compression IP, with cores for H.264, JPEG 2000 and five JPEG variations.
The new processing cores handle functions typically required before or after compression or decompression, enabling Cast to offer a more complete video/image IP package to system-on-chip (SoC) designers.
The products just launched and now available for ASICs or FPGAs are: Polynomial, Frequency Domain and Anisotropic Image Scalers, to convert the original resolution of an image or video to that of the system's display.
These image-scaler core choices help designers to optimise systems for applications ranging from very small mobile displays to ultra-high-resolution large screens.
The Motion Adaptive Video Deinterlacer converts analogue television or 1,080i signals to non-interlaced, high-quality format for subsequent processing or display.
The deinterlacer can perform fast and accurate Film Mode detection - also called Inverse Telecine or 3:2 Pulldown - for reconstructing original 24fps material.
A 2D Graphics Accelerator speeds up high-quality, high-resolution image rendering by implementing common graphic functions such as block transfers and vector drawing in fast hardware.
These cores are sourced from video and image IP company Trilinear Technologies.
