Apical’s iridix cores for Xilinx Spartan-3 and Virtex FPGAs provides high-quality pixel-by-pixel dynamic range and colour management for a wide range of displays and camera systems.

Support of full HD up to 1080p is provided, as is support for LVDS, DVI and analog I/O.

The cores are available as netlist or bitstream distributions. Two principal versions are available:

Version	Application	Minimum device
High	Highest image quality and performance. Full HD processing	XC3S1200E
Standard	Optimal balance between image quality and resource utilization. Well-suited to most display and camera applications	XC3S500E
