TOKYO ELECTRON DEVICE exhibited ""Real Time Video Engine (RTVE) OZ745,"" a reference design by Xilinx, and ""Zynq-7000,"" an evaluation kit application for broadcasting that uses FPGA built into ARM core manufactured by OMNI TECS.

The reference design ""OZ745"" that makes use of a real time video engine by Xilinx is one that employs the KC705 evaluation kit using Xilinx's Kintex-7 FPGA in the base as well as utilizing the generic boards of SDI interface cards and HDMI interface cards. This makes it possible to expand and shrink 4ch images in real time and in browser software.

The ZYNQ evaluation platform for broadcasters by Omnitek ""Zynq-7000"" comes with FPGA equipped in ARM manufactured by Xilinx (ZYNQ XC7Z045) and allows for 4ch 3G SDI input signals and 1ch 3G SDI signal output. This product is equipped with an expanded interface (e.g. HDMI and optical modules), comes with Linux and makes possible various kinds of control. It is possible to use this as an introduction platform when developing video processing. The FPGA in the ARM processor is the latest device and is valid with usage methods and applications in broadcasting.
