Next-gen video broadcast and Pro AV systems are increasingly becoming IP-based systems. Video-over-IP and Video-over-Ethernet both leverage economies of scale of packet-based systems in the data center. Video-over-IP systems typically use FPGAs and SoC as the main processing unit. FPGAs and SoCs solve many problems that legacy CPU-based systems can’t. In general, they are higher-performing, lower-power and more efficient at the system level Video broadcast and Pro AV systems must interface … [Read more...]
