Software upgrade provides speed boost
Customers using the 8.0 release to design Altera's 65nm Stratix III FPGAs on Windows platforms will see compile times reduced by up to 50%.
Shrink to 40nm increases FPGA capabilities
The Stratix IV family has up to 680K logic elements, 2x bigger than Altera's Stratix III family, which currently comprise currently the largest FPGAs on the market.
"Offering cPCI cards based on Altera's industry-leading Stratix II FPGAs provides our customers the highest performance development platform for the latest video applications", said Joel Rotem, Mango DSP's Director of Technical Sales.
"The Bluejay utilises the superior signal processing capabilities of Stratix II FPGAs to double the performance of the DSP cards".
"The Bluejay continues to demonstrate Mango's leadership in FPGA-based video processing solutions".
The Bluejay cPCI card is the newest member of Mango DSP's line of 6U cPCI cards that serve the growing needs of the DSP markets.
The Bluejay supports PCI 66/64 as well as a rear I/O transition card, which can provide any type of digital I/O via an LVDS interface.
The card is ideal for the development of broadcast-quality H.264/AVC encoding at 1080p, as well as for video conferencing applications where thousands of video streams need to be transcoded.
"Mango DSP's Bluejay card provides developers with a tremendous amount of processing power and scalability for leading edge DSP system development", said Brian Jentz, Altera's DSP Marketing Manager.
"The combination of our Stratix II devices with Mango DSP's unique board architecture will enable customers to meet the challenging requirements of the highest performance video applications not previously feasible in real time".
Designers can visit Mango's DSP booth at Altera's Code:DSP video, image and signal processing seminar series being held in North America and Europe.
The full-day seminar brings together top companies and leading-edge products that help designers boost DSP performance and lower overall costs for their next-generation FPGA-based system architectures.
