APRIL 24—MathStar (Hillsboro, OR) has introduced the Professional Video Library for its field-programmable object array (FPOA). The first intellectual property in the library is an MPEG2 multistream decoder for the MOA1400D FPOA device. MathStar's Professional Video Library roadmap includes support for additional video decoders and encoders, as well as image-processing applications.
When running on an MOA1400D, the MPEG2 multistream decoder supports up to four simultaneous standard-definition video streams, or a single high-definition video stream. Since the MOA1400D FPOA is a reprogrammable device, it can be reconfigured in the field to support many different types of video decoders. The MOA1400D operates at speeds up to 1 GHz, making it two to four times faster than currently available FPGAs.
The MPEG2 is available directly from MathStar. For pricing and delivery options, please go to the Web site at www.mathstar.com.
