New Technology Includes Spatial and Temporal Content Adaptive Processing

PORTLAND, Ore. – July 25, 2012 – Imaging and display intellectual property (IP) provider, Trilinear TechnologiesTM, Inc., announced the introduction of a new image processing core designed for the conversion of interlaced fields to progressive frames. The Trilinear AVP-35 Content Adaptive Deinterlacer core includes the next generation of Trilinear’s proprietary content adaptive processing technology which includes both spatial and temporal processing elements. The new core is available for production in both FPGA and ASIC technologies and is implemented for evaluation on Xilinx Virtex5, Virtex6, and Spartan 6 FPGAs.

The new Trilinear core includes proprietary content adaptive processing technology which performs different processing techniques based on the spatial and temporal characteristics of each input field. Including both linear and non-linear processing algorithms, the AVP-35 core provides state of the art image processing for the highest levels of image quality. The deinterlacing core supports color depths of 8, 10, and 12 bits per pixel with input formats of 480i, 576i and 1080i.

The Trilinear AVP-35 core ships with a complete Software Development Kit (SDK) featuring hardware drivers and a sample video player application. The optional Viper evaluation and development system includes a host processor and peripheral suite< controlled via the TRIMON ROM monitor. TRIMON is a full-featured monitor with a robust API that offers driver level access to the onboard hardware. Customer applications can be developed, downloaded and tested from within the TRIMON interface, allowing for simultaneous hardware and software evaluation efforts.

“We are excited to bring our proprietary content adaptive technology to the image processing product line. At Trilinear Technologies we are committed to providing our customers with high quality video solutions on both ASIC and FPGA platforms,” said Carl Ruggiero, CEO, Trilinear Technologies. “The Content Adaptive Deinterlacing core provides a high level of image quality for demanding customer applications when general purpose imaging cores just can’t compete.”

Trilinear Technologies Expands IP Core Portfolio With DisplayPort Transmitter and Receiver Link Controllers

New DisplayPort Controllers Include a Development System and Policy Maker 

Imaging and display intellectual property (IP) provider, Trilinear TechnologiesTM, Inc., announced the addition of two new DisplayPortTM link controller cores to its product portfolio. The Trilinear VF-111T DisplayPort Transmitter core and VF-117R DisplayPort Receiver core support the Video Electronic Standards Association (VESA) DisplayPort 1.1a standard and are available for implementation in FPGA or ASIC devices.  Both cores are currently implemented for evaluation on Xilinx Virtex5, Virtex6, and Spartan 6 FPGAs. 

The new Trilinear family of DisplayPort link controllers supports data rates of 1.62Gbps or 2.7Gbps over 1, 2, or 4 separate differential pairs, providing over twice the bandwidth of DVI or HDMI connections. The link controllers are highly configurable and include full standards compliance, including support for high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) 1.3 encryption as well as secondary channel data for audio streams.

In addition to the DisplayPort Intellectual Property cores, Trilinear Technologies has developed a DisplayPort compliant link policy maker for both the transmitter and receiver.  “The link policy maker is a significant portion of any DisplayPort implementation”, said Todd Previte, Director of Software Engineering for Trilinear Technologies.  “The Trilinear link policy maker is both DisplayPort compliant and interoperable with shipping products.  This can help customers to bring products to market months ahead of the competition.”

The Trilinear DisplayPort cores ship with the Viper Development System and a complete Software Development Kit (SDK) featuring the DisplayPort-compliant Policy Maker. The development system includes a host processor and peripheral suite controlled via the TRIMON ROM monitor. TRIMON is a full-featured monitor with a robust API that offers driver level access to the onboard hardware. Customer applications can be developed, downloaded and tested from within the TRIMON interface, allowing for simultaneous hardware and software evaluation efforts.

“At Trilinear Technologies we are committed to providing our customers with solutions that enable them to quickly create advanced HD digital video products on both ASIC and FPGA platforms,” said Carl Ruggiero, CEO, Trilinear Technologies. “The DisplayPort cores are the first in a developing line of products that meet our customer needs and today’s leading standards. We will continue to develop this product family to meet the evolving DisplayPort standard.”
