Aimed at accelerating the adoption of high definition (HD) broadcast systems design in the market place, Altera Corporation has announced its High Definition Quality Initiative (HDQI). Backed by an ecosystem of partners with expertise in the HD space, the initiative’s objective is to enable designers to quickly and cost-effectively address the rapidly growing need for high-quality HD systems. 4i2i, ATEME, Let It Wave and PLDA are among the initiative’s founding members.
The HDQI addresses HD quality, affordability and system design productivity by delivering a unique set of solutions targeted at the many quality “hot spots” throughout the entire broadcast infrastructure. By offering high-quality, industry-standard, off-the shelf designs, Altera HDQI solutions eliminate the need to create best-in-quality functions from the ground up, enabling faster broadcast system design at a lower cost. System designers can now leverage Altera and its partners’ intellectual property (IP) cores, reference designs, and development kits to differentiate their products from the competition.
