Sanyo
Realizes Industry-Leading Image Quality Using Altera
Programmable Logic for Home Theater Systems
News Source : Altera
Corporation
Seoul, Jan 05 2006 (Korea Newswire)--
Sanyo is relying on Altera Corporation’s (Nasdaq: ALTR)
Stratix? FPGAs and Nios? II embedded processors to quickly
and cost effectively build new home theater systems with
industry-leading features and image quality, Altera
announced today.
“Using Altera? FPGAs and processors in our latest home
theater products lets us deliver the most feature-rich and
visually rewarding display solutions,” said Kaoru Ikeda,
general manager of the projector business unit at Sanyo
Electric Co., Ltd. “Altera’s programmable solutions allowed
the rapid development of this industry-leading product
differentiation which would have been impossible with
alternatives such as ASSPs, costly ASICs or traditional
processors.”
Altera’s programmable solutions gave Sanyo the flexibility
it needed to build advanced image enhancement functions into
its Projection TV and its Home Entertainment LCD Projector
PLV-Z4. In fact, the PLV-Z4 received immediate industry
recognition by winning ProjectorReviews.com’s Hot Product
Award and a HiVi magazine’s 2005 Best Buy award. Sanyo is
demonstrating both products at CES in the Central Hall,
booth #11017.
The projector and TV both use a Stratix FPGA hosting a Nios
II processor to implement intelligent image processing and
enhancement operations that include automatic gamma
adjustment, noise reduction, color management, matrix
sharpness and several presentation modes optimized for
specific types of content. Altera Stratix FPGAs provide a
key combination of processing power and programming
flexibility for integrating multiple functions into a single
device. The migration path to a low-cost HardCopy?
structured ASIC for high-volume production extends the value
of Altera’s product solutions.
“Consumer product manufacturers face enormous pressure to
differentiate their products with new features and functions
while minimizing development and production costs,” said
Todd Scott, senior director of Altera’s broadcast and
consumer business unit. “This is why projector industry
leaders such as Sanyo increasingly take advantage of
Altera’s programmable solutions and why FPGAs are quickly
becoming the obvious choice for consumer electronics
manufacturers.”
