Abstract:
This tutorial presents broadcast-quality solutions based on FPGA technology for audio processing with significant cost savings over existing discrete solutions. The solutions include digital audio interfaces such as AES3/SPDIF and I2S, audio processing functions such as sample rate converters and SDI audio embed/de-embed functions. Along with these solutions, an audio video framework that consists of a suite of A/V functions, reference designs, an open interface to easily stitch the AV blocks, system design methodology, and development kits is introduced. Using the framework system designers can quickly prototype and rapidly develop complex audio video systems.
