AMD Xilinx Video SDK 3.0 brings additional enhancements to the already feature-rich Video SDK 2.0. It is now available to Alveo™ U30 media accelerator card users through  on-premises setups (support by AWS’s Amazon EC2 VT1 instances coming soon). With Video SDK 3.0 and a multimedia framework/toolkit (such as GStreamer, FFmpeg, and XMA), users can continue to cost-effectively scale their live video transcoding with even greater ease.

AMD and Xylon combine to swap auto functionality quickly and seamlessly for reduced system cost and complexity. 

AMD’s new technology platform solution will allow security speeds to match the performance required within modern networks.

The multimedia needs of today’s modern house of worship, enterprise workplace, and even professional video studio has grown significantly in the past 10 years. Today’s content creators demand equipment and infrastructure that supports high-quality, low-latency video free from the restrictions imposed by traditional baseband video interfaces such as HDMI, DisplayPort, or SDI.  Creators want long transmission distances, multi-channel video, and flexible routing of audio and video essences, just to name a few. 

AMD is introducing the Versal™ Premium series VPK180 Evaluation Kit with over 4Tb/s of bandwidth using 112G PAM4 transceivers and industry-standard connectors. The kit comes with a comprehensive set of accessories and features many onboard interfaces to enable designers to immediately start their board development. 

AMD technology is helping Cornell University unlock discoveries in the world of physics.

Dr. Lawrence Gibbons, a professor in the department of physics at Cornell University, has had an interest in science from a very early age. A self-proclaimed "Trekkie," Gibbons says he was really fascinated by physics as a child and was reading about black holes in early junior high. "I was interested in physical phenomenon and started pursuing it," he said.

Security is a topic on everyone’s minds today, and as technology gets more advanced it can be easier to bypass the older systems that others have built. Large scale system hacks are highly publicized and can affect a wide range of people, but smaller scale hacks can be just as devastating. Therefore, its essential to use the best technology to protect what matters most, such as your home and family.

In the first of our “any media over any network” series, we highlighted that support for bridging between traditional AV connectivity standards and Ethernet-based IP networks is a key function required in many multimedia systems. Next, we’ll take a closer look at the options designers have when adopting Ethernet for AV transport using AMD adaptive SoCs.

With the Kria ODM Partner Ecosystem, users can enjoy a turnkey experience with a full software stack and application support backed by established partners with a track record of success.

In the ever-changing world of professional multimedia, the move to Ethernet and IP networking is one of the most important trends that is fundamentally transforming the industry. Audio and video (AV) are no longer constrained by point-to-point connectivity.
