  1. Equator BSP-15 Video-centric SoC By Anastasia Christou Reg. No. : 93089

  2. Equator BSP-15 Video-centric SoC • Based on a high-performance VLIW (very-long-instruction-word) core and optimized for video processing • BSP-15 (Broadband Signal Processor) chips delivers up to 50 billions of operations per second (GOPS) of video processing power, highest performance of total video processing output, single-chip, video-centric SOC device. • It targets high-end, high-performance applications such as digital head-end systems. Equator BSP-15 video centric SoC

  3. Equator BSP-15 Video-centric SoC cont’d • BSP-15 chips are 100% programmable in C/C++ • Enabling rapid deployment and field upgradeability of new applications and devices. • A software programmable BSP-15 chip can replace multiple fixed-function ASICs, thereby reducing both complexity and cost of system designs. • Equator's video-centric SoC solutions are available for digital media, digital video communications and video security and surveillance applications.

  4. VLIW Architecture • The key to higher performance in microprocessors for a broad range of applications is the ability to exploit fine-grain, instruction-level parallelism. Some methods for exploiting fine-grain parallelism include: • pipelining • multiple processors • superscalar implementation • specifying multiple independent operations per instruction Equator BSP-15 video centric SoC

  6. BSP Architecture • The BSP-15 processor, a four-issue, superpipelined VLIW (very-long-instruction-word) architecture, includes: • Four integer ALUs, • Two 64-bit SIMD ALUs and • Two 128-bit SIMD (single-instruction-multiple-data) ALUs. • The processor has 32 1-bit predicate registers, • Eight 128-bit registers and • 128 32-bit registers, which it can pair into 64-bit registers.

  7. BSP Architecture cont’d • The BSP-15 processor family targets video- and image-processing applications and is backward-compatible with Equator’s MAP-CA chips. • The BSP-15 supports as many as 50 billion operations/sec, 8 billion MACs/sec, 16 billion SAD (sum of absolute differences)/sec, and as many as six MPEG-2 D1 decodes.

  9. Programming Model • The execution of a parallel application consists of a sequence of stages (supersteps) separated by boundaries (synchronization points). • BSP, does not have abstractions for dynamic resource control and data distribution. Equator BSP-15 video centric SoC

  10. Supported Peripherals • Integrated peripheral interfaces include a IIC (inter-IC) serial-I/O-bus-control port • Flash-ROM controller • S/PDIF (IEC958) and IIS serial-audio I/O ports • An 8-bit ITU-T BT.656 video-encoder-output port and • Control signals for an external-video VCXO timing-control loop for MPEG transport-clock recovery. • The programmable SVGA-display refresh controller provides 24-bit (8 bits times three), 135-MHz digital-to-analog conversion. • The device also includes two multipurpose ports, each of which can function as an ITU-R BT.656 video-decoder-input port or a transport-channel-interface port.

  11. Development Tools • Version 6.0 of Equator’s iMMediaTools software-development tool kit allows designers to develop and deploy videocentric applications with the BSP-15 chip running Linux. • Equator and its software partners offer a range of video and codecs, including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.263, H.264, MJPEG, Windows Media 9 Series, RealVideo9, DivX, MP3, AC3, AAC, and other proprietary, low-bit-rate, streaming-video codecs. • They also offer reference designs for digital-security and surveillance applications, including digital-video-recorder, IP-camera, motion-detection, motion-tracking, biometrics, and camera-steadying applications.

  12. Possible operating systems • Unlike traditional DSP chips that run only media codecs, a single BSP-15 chip can handle all systems software needs — from media codecs to interactive TV middleware to virtual machine for Java and operating systems like Linux — eliminating the need for an additional processor and its cost.
