Finally, the entire video design framework really
comes together in the form of an HD reference
design that showcases the actual video
processing common to many applications. Altera
developed several reference designs that were
driven by actual customer demand for scaling,
mixing, and processing HD video streams over
serial digital interfaces (SDI).
Figure 4 shows one of the reference designs that
processes 1080p quality video. This design was
built using the Altera video design framework.
For more details on this design contact your
local Altera FAE.

Altera provides one of the largest portfolios of video processing designs – all built using the Altera VIP suite
of video cores.
1. The Altera video and image processing
example design demonstrates dynamic
scaling and clipping of a standard definition
video stream in either NTSC or PAL format
and picture-inpicture mixing with a
background layer. The video stream is
output in high definition resolution
(1024×768) over a digital video interface
(DVI). This design is fully verified on the
Cyclone III Video development kit.
