• SUB2r customizable video camera gets its video pipeline programmability and configurability from an FPGA powered by four Intel® Enpirion® Power Systems on Chip (PowerSoC) modules SUB2r, a self-funded startup makes a video camera for storytellers and gamers who want to create compelling video content. The company had a problem: visible current noise was marring the images coming from its eponymous video camera. The SUB2r camera is really a video computing platform with a configurable, customizable, upgradeable, programmable, open-architecture imaging pipeline based on an FPGA-based implementation....

• Convert from HDR to SDR video on the fly with an FPGA-based video-conversion solution from the bcom Technology Research Institute The human eye has an instantaneous dynamic range of approximately 10 to 14 stops of dynamic range. Standard dynamic range (SDR) video with 8 bits per subpixel and high dynamic range (HDR) video with 10 bits per subpixel have a dynamic range of eight and 10 stops per subpixel respectively, so it’s no wonder that consumers show a growing preference...
