At ISE 2025, AMD’s Rob Green provides an in-depth overview of the company’s latest advancements in adaptive computing technologies, emphasizing their applications in professional broadcast and consumer markets. A focal point is the collaboration with Megapixel on the Helios LED wall processor, powered by AMD’s Kintex UltraScale FPGA. This processor supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet and 720p/1080p resolutions, delivering high-performance video processing and extensive Ethernet connectivity. It’s instrumental in driving Ventana’s micro-LED tiles, known for their exceptional thinness and suitability for high-end residential, commercial, and retail environments.

AMD’s partnership with Blackmagic Design introduces the IP10 codec, a compact solution enabling Ultra HD transmission over 10 Gigabit Ethernet with minimal compression. Integrated into various Blackmagic products, this codec facilitates 4K video transmission with very low latency. Notably, Blackmagic offers transparency by providing the codec’s code on their website, allowing for seamless integration into ecosystems utilizing AMD’s technology.

The company also highlights its support for the emerging IPMX standard, designed to bridge the gap between broadcast and AV industries. Utilizing AMD’s Zynq UltraScale+ SoCs and FPGAs, partners like Adeas and Nextera Video have developed IP cores compatible with IPMX, incorporating features such as the Privacy Encryption Protocol (PEP) to ensure media content security.

In the realm of display technology, AMD showcases its pioneering implementation of DisplayPort 2.1 on FPGAs. Demonstrations include 4K resolution at 240 frames per second, achieved through a Radeon GPU as the source, highlighting the high bit rate capabilities of 20 Gbps per lane, totaling 80 Gbps across four lanes. This setup underscores AMD’s proficiency in handling advanced display standards and high-bandwidth data transmission.

The versatility of AMD’s adaptive SoCs is further demonstrated through HDMI 2.1 implementations featuring Display Stream Compression (DSC). Collaborations with partners like Alma Technologies have led to the development of IP cores capable of handling 8K output, ensuring efficient compression and decompression processes while maintaining high-quality visuals.

AMD’s commitment to AV-over-IP solutions is evident through its support for various protocols and codecs. The company collaborates with intoPIX to extend the capabilities of JPEG XS for AV-over-IP, introducing features like Temporal Differential Coding (TDC) and Main + Proxy stream support. These advancements are designed to run on AMD FPGAs, SoCs, CPUs, and GPUs, offering flexible and efficient solutions for high-quality video transmission over IP networks.
