SAN JOSE, Calif., April 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc.
(NASDAQ: XLNX) launched its next generation of Video over IP
connectivity solutions to address the industry's transition to all
IP-based networks. These new connectivity solutions enable
'any media over any network' transport capabilities to the
broadcast and pro a/v markets. Xilinx defines and deploys
Video over IP protocols for contribution and distribution networks
with the provision of the SMPTE ST 2022-1,2 and SMPTE ST 2022-5.6
IP cores and reference designs. These cores encapsulate
multiple compressed JPEG 2000 or MPEG transport streams (MPEG-TS),
or uncompressed SDI streams onto 1Gb and 10Gb Ethernet IP networks,
and offer optional Forward Error Correction (FEC) to recover lost
packets and provide robustness in media transmission.

Xilinx's new Video over IP cores and reference designs support
the SMPTE ST 2022-7 seamless (hitless) protection switching
standard and are available with Xilinx Kintex®-7 FPGAs
and Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoCs, using FPGA
Mezzanine Cards (FMCs) from Xilinx Alliance Members, inrevium
AMERICA and Faster Technology. Additional SMPTE ST 2022-compliant
IP cores include a brand new high-channel count Video over IP
Forward Error Correction (FEC) engine that handles up to 512
transport streams.
To address timing and synchronization techniques based on the
IEEE1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) over local and wide area
networks, Xilinx has developed IP cores and reference designs that
enable the distribution of video sync signals over IP networks, and
generate clocks and timestamps for remote video sources.
These IP cores and reference designs are also implemented in the
emerging broadcast draft standards SMPTE ST 2059-1 and -2.
Compliance for these new Video over IP cores and reference designs
has been validated through the Video Services Forum Inc. (VSF), and
is one of the development platforms used by the VSF that won the
2014 Emmy® Award for Technology and Engineering for
Standardization and Productization of JPEG2000 (J2K)
Interoperability.
"The transition to IP-based technologies is creating huge
opportunities for cost savings, video production efficiency, and
scalability, but its nascence is also creating some confusion and
hesitation by some vendors in terms of protocol selection for
various applications," said Robert
Green, senior manager broadcast and pro a/v business segment
at Xilinx. "A Xilinx device in conjunction with an Ethernet
PHY offers a firmware upgradeable Video over IP platform that
supports any media over any network, with cores and reference
designs enabling fast time-to-market and low risk deployment."
