Notes:
Video and image processing is another market that requires high performance solutions. The real time nature of video data streams requires real time performance that previously has not been available in a programmable solution.
Two dimensional processing algorithms such as convolution (2D FIR filters) for image processing and pattern recognition, image compression using wavelet and DCT transforms and image resizing algorithms map efficiently into programmable logic. New FPGA technology has made the economics of custom IC design unattractive for many applications such as medical image processing.
The risk in releasing products that support unstable new standards is reduced.
