The Pro AV, Broadcast, and Residential markets are rapidly adopting advancements in immersive, adaptive, and intelligent AV technology. This creates a growing need for enhanced bandwidth, low-latency video processing, and compression capabilities, with the ability to differentiate through audio and video quality improvements and features.
At ISE 2024, AMD along with our partners, is showcasing leading-edge audio and video processing, the leading AV-over-IP standards (IPMX, NDI® and Dante AV Ultra™), machine learning applications, and brand-new interface IP on advanced FPGA-based SoC platforms.
DisplayPort™ 2.1
We are excited to show the industry’s first FPGA and adaptive SoC implementations to conform to the VESA DisplayPort 2.1 standard.
Using an AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 XTX GPU as an 8K60 video source, is implementing DisplayPort 2.1 to pass the content to a Novastar LED processor, which, in turn, drives an RGBshine LED wall.
IPMX
Adeas and Nextera Video, along with intoPIX, Matrox, Megapixel, PlexusAV and Village Island, will showcase truly open, vendor-agnostic, and scalable IPMX AV-over-IP technology. All these solutions will be running on AMD adaptive compute platforms, highlighting interoperability between various sources. With turnkey IPMX cores available from Adeas and Nextera Video, and a reference design including NMOS and intoPIX JPEG XS codec, customers can get to market quickly with IPMX and AMD.
NDI®
Using NDI on AMD SoCs, you can transport broadcast quality, low latency 4K60 video on your existing software and network infrastructure.
At ISE 2024, we will be showcasing a live demo of NDI on AMD technology inside products from Newtek, BirdDog, Kiloview, Magewell, SWIT, Telescript, and Lumens. Also new for ISE 2024, check out NDI on the AMD Kria™ SOM.
Dante AV Ultra™
Dante AV Ultra adds networked video to the widely used Dante platform. Running on an AMD Zynq™ adaptive SoC to enable sub-frame latency and the option to support SDI, Dante AV Ultra provides visually lossless 4K60 4:4:4 video and up to 8x Dante audio channels with AV sync over standard 1GE.
High-Throughput JPEG 2000 (HTJ2K)
Available from Kakadu Software, HTJ2K is a royalty-free image compression standard offering fast and flexible, lossy and lossless coding with sub-frame latency, and support of 4K60 video over 1Gb Ethernet.
Running on an AMD Zynq™ UltraScale+™ adaptive SoC at the show, HTJ2K is a lightweight/mezzanine codec option for AV-over-IP and Ethernet media transport in a variety of AV markets.
*Sublima* HDR Converter
Elevate your products to HDR quality with the *Sublima* IP core from b<>com.
This demo on Zynq UltraScale+ adaptive SoC showcases an award-winning algorithm for SDR to HDR conversion while preserving original artistic intent. It supports HD and UHD standards and works with major HDR formats.
MuseBox – AI for AV
MakarenaLabs will be demonstrating various applications for its MuseBox DPU, running on AMD adaptive compute platforms.
This FPGA-based machine learning system is designed for real-time pro AV and broadcast applications such as collaboration, digital signage, audio watermarking, digital twin, motion capture and more. Using Makarena Labs’ new No-Code GUI toolset along with MuseBox simplifies the ML development process.
For those that are developing a new home security solution AMD will showcase the MakarenaLabs SmartLock, also based on the MuseBox DPU.
This accurate, robust, and high-speed solution, based on an AMD Zynq adaptive SoC, uses AI- enabled 2D and 3D face detection and recognition.
Simply Sounds Clear™ – Microphone Bubbles
This novel technology from BdSound, demoing on an AMD Zynq Ultrascale+ adaptive SoC, combines source separation, AI-enabled noise reduction, and beamforming to create a microphone bubble around each speaker, effectively isolating their voice from any unwanted noise. As a result, it significantly improves speech transcription and delivers crystal-clear voice quality for each speaker. This solution is ideal for use cases such as collaboration systems, call centers, intercom, and vending machines to name a few.
HELIOS® LED Processing Platform
The HELIOS LED Processing Platform from Megapixel is based on AMD adaptive compute platforms and has modular and upgradeable inputs allowing for endless creativity with large-format displays. Supporting 8K video pipelines with panoramic potential of up to 32K, HELIOS offers 100G fiber inputs to ingest content over ST 2110 and IPMX.
Ventana MicroLED Tiles
Ventana is the impossibly thin MicroLED tile from Megapixel. Ventana is a modular design which provides freedom to curate a bespoke display that fits seamlessly into the architecture of your home or office.
Using AMD adaptive compute platforms, Ventana offers wide color gamut, ultra-high brightness, deep blacks, and superior bit depth, and supports up to 8K.
Rælclear Transparent Display
Based on an AMD Spartan™ FPGA, Rælclear is a transparent liquid crystal display realized by Japan Display Inc. which showcases advanced technology that can display content without using a backlight. Rælclear allows you to look through the screen to keep speaking directly to the person in front of you, but share information and visuals, or transcription and translation.
Meet with us at ISE 2024
AMD and our partners are looking forward to demonstrating a wide variety of new technologies at ISE to advance adaptive, immersive, and intelligent AV applications. Be sure to visit us at the show in Fira Barcelona, 30th Jan - 2nd Feb in booth 5D150, or request a meeting here.
