Designed in conjunction with Altera®, the kit includes a suite of video processing IP reference examples, to provide a solid starting point for building your next generation HD 1080p 100/120 Hz video display product. [. . . ] The PCI Express reference designs incorporate a 4-lane PCIe IP core from Northwest Logics Inc. The user is required to license this IP core if they are to build custom designs incorporating PCIe functionality. Linux drivers are supplied supporting read/write access to on-board devices and for building streaming video applications. Special Bonus Offer Receive a FREE USB-Blaster Download Cable with your purchase of a ViClaro III HD Display Panel - Video IP Development Kit. ViClaro III HD Video Host Board The ViClaro III HD Video Host Board contains the Cyclone III FPGA, USB 2. 0 PHY, 4 lane PCIe PHY (note 1), DDR2 memory, two HSMC connectors and one dedicated HSMC LVDS connector for adding an application specific daughter card. The HSMC connectors are compliant with the Altera HSMC specification. The card supports a total of 72 LVDS channels. The board supports a serial EEPROM with SHA-1 engine to provide protection of FPGA IP cores using signature device authentication. Quad Link LVDS Interface Card The Quad Link LVDS Interface Card supports 4 LVDS receive and transmit links each consisting of 5 data channels and 1 clock for a total of 48 LVDS pairs. The standard configuration of 20 Tx + 4 clk and 20 Rx + 2 clk, is capable of supporting LCD display panels up to 1080p at 100/120Hz. On-board LVDS termination resistors can be removed to convert receiver channels into transmitters as required to support 12 or 14-bit color applications. The card is designed to support a broad range of LCD panels using LVDS, Mini-LVDS, RSDS, and PPDS low-voltage panel interface signalling. Custom LVDS daughter cards supporting alternative panel interface headers can be designed to meet your custom requirements. Video Reference Designs & IP Cores DVI and HDMI HSMC Receiver / Transmitter Cards The ViClaro is supplied with either a DVI or HDMI Receiver / Transmitter HSMC Daughter Card capable of supporting display resolutions from VGA to UXGA (1600x1200 and 1920x1080 [1080p@60]). The DVI Receiver / Transmitter Card integrates a DVI 1. 0 receiver and transmitter onto a single card. The HDMI Receiver / Transmitter Card provides an HDMI 1. 2 receiver, a HDMI 1. 2 transmitter and an analog YCrCb video receiver.
