OmniTek: Video Development

Hardware partial reconfiguration solution improves operational capabilities of FPGAs for video.

Founded in 2001, OmniTek is a test and measurement company specializing in the development of video analysis equipment and offering consultancy in video-based system design. OmniTek experts have more than a decade of experience designing complex signal processing systems using Xilinx FPGAs. As a result, the company offers programmable development platforms to design engineers who need to rapidly prototype new video algorithms and solutions.

Besides its Xilinx-based Advanced Video Development Platform, OmniTek has announced a new platform based on the Xilinx Zynq-7045 All Programmable SoC. The OZ745 Zynq SoC Broadcast Development Kit includes hardware, design tools, IP, pre-verified reference designs, and a board support package.

We are very excited to have received our first Zynq-7045 devices and impressed with Xilinx’s execution with the Zynq family. Having an integrated solution with processor and programmable logic in a single device provides significant advantages over our existing two-chip design in terms of power reduction, size, and system performance.

OmniTek

The added capability of operating the ARM processing system at 1 GHz provides us the headroom needed to run our video processing GUI while simultaneously running several audio CODECs and other real-time processing functions. The 12.5 GHz transceivers enable us to handle eight SDI video streams while also supporting 10G Ethernet for video over IP.
