Overview

The ST 2059 core is an FPGA IP core that generates timing and clock signals according to the SMPTE ST 2059 standard defined by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. These deterministic timing signals can be used to time synchronize audio and video systems to a SMPTE ST2059 (PTP) grandmaster.

The IP core provides broadcast and professional AV equipment the ability to support deterministic generation of timing (signals) for video and audio systems. Audio/visual systems are generally synchronized, locked to the same time base with a relative phase with respect to a master time generator. This makes seamless switching between cameras or mixing a presenter in front of weather graphics possible. The same can be true for audio devices.

The Adeas AIP-ST2059 core uses the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to provide time-aligned signal generation, thus permitting the interoperable use of IP-based media equipment with conventional genlocked SDI equipment.

Based on standard AXI4-Stream, AXI4-Lite and AXI4MM interfaces, the AIP-ST2059 core can easily be integrated into your system design.

Nextera’s goal is to solve challenging problems by developing premium products and solutions for media professionals. Our approach to designing products starts by evaluating the core of real world problems and developing products that are well designed, feature rich, intuitive, and affordable. The migration to Video over IP is upon us and we are here to ease that transition with an array of solutions, including our Video over IP cores and VIDIO FMC development module. Our VIDIO development module was created specifically to provide an affordable and effective platform on which to develop new 4K and Video over IP products. We also offer a variety FPGA IP cores supporting the SMPTE ST 2110 and ST 2059 Video over IP standards along with software cores for auto detection and switching of IP signals following the AMWA NMOS specification. We also offer cores for scaling, de-interlacing, noise reduction, image enhancement, frame rate conversion, etc. in both fixed function and running on our programmable video processor core.
