XtremeDSP Video Starter Kit — Spartan-3A DSP Edition
The XtremeDSP™ Video Starter Kit – Spartan®-3A DSP Edition is the ideal development platform to evaluate Xilinx FPGA(s) in a wide range of video and imaging applications. The Video Starter Kit provides an embedded design framework that can be customized with user defined video accelerators implemented on the FPGA fabric. This unique combination of flexibility and processing power allows Xilinx FPGAs to address the most demanding security, industrial, medical, broadcast and automotive video applications.
The Video Starter Kit eases FPGA adoption for new users by providing familiar hardware and software development environments. Video application software can be developed using an eclipse based software development environment provided as part of the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit. Hardware video accelerators can be developed and integrated into the embedded system without prior RTL using System Generator for DSP and Simulink from The Mathworks. Tight integration between these environments insures rapid development of real-time video applications.
