CAST Expands Video IP Cores Line with New Video Deinterlacer

New IP core converts interlaced to progressive video for display, H.264 encoding, or other processing.

June 3rd, 2009

Woodcliff Lake, NJ, June 4, 2009 — Semiconductor IP provider CAST Inc. has released a new Basic Video Deinterlacer IP core (www.cast-inc.com/cores/vdint).

The new core converts incoming interlaced video to progressive video format for further processing or display. It accepts an industry-standard 8-bit ITU-R BT.656 video stream for wide compatibility, and its lean processing means it requires little ASIC or FPGA area and causes practically no video transmission delay.

The Basic Video Deinterlacer core works standalone in a variety of applications, and will provide integrated support for CAST’s upcoming revised H.264 1080p Video Encoder IP core (www.cast-inc.com/cores/h264-e).
