excludeZynq UltraScale+ MPSoC VCU TRD 2018.3 - SDI Video Display

1 Overview

The primary goal of this Design is to demonstrate the capabilities of VCU hard block present in Zynq UltraScale+ EV devices. The TRD will serve as a platform to tune the performance parameters of VCU and arrive at optimal configurations for encoder and decoder blocks with the streaming use case where bandwidth plays a vital role. 

This design supports the following video interfaces:

Sources:

  • File source (SD card, USB storage, SATA hard disk).
  • Stream-In from network or internet.

Sinks:

  • SDI-Tx display pipeline implemented in the PL.

VCU Codec:

  • Video Encode/Decode capability using VCU hard block in PL 
    • AVC/HEVC encoding.
    • Encoder/decoder parameter configuration.

Streaming Interfaces:

  • 1G Ethernet on PS

VIdeo format:

  • XV20
