DP/HDMI(input)--> FPGA (Scaling)--> DP(output)

[Aregaard]

Hi,
I have started a project where I want to create a scaling function on the FPGA. The FPGa should accept input from DP and HDMI and send out DP.
Ex: Old application uses 480p. It is send to FPGA for upscaling to 1080p.

The main task is the following setup.

Will the Numato Opsis: FPGA-based open video platform ( https://numato.com/product/numato-opsis-fpga-based-open-video-platform) fix the hardware setup for me. Or is it a bad option to use this board for scaling?
I know it is a pretty large question, but maybe you can give me some hints.

I have been googling around I have some options but none give the same possibilities as Numato Opsis video platform.
Nexys Video Platform (Artix-7) It only has HDMI-->FPGA-->mini-DP. 490$

Sounds like a cool project! The Numato Opsis should be a decent fit your for your idea. (Do be warned that this project will require a reasonable amount of work and is definitely non-trivial and will require more work than doing the same thing in software.)

We would love to have this upscaling feature as part of the HDMI2USB-litex-firmware too! FYI The Opsis board was originally designed for the hdmi2usb.tv project. We had a Google Summer of Code student work on creating the low level primitives to do colorspace-correct scaling operations. You can see his work here -> timvideos/HDMI2USB-litex-firmware#270 and https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litevideo/tree/master/litevideo/float_arithmetic that might also be useful to you.

Feel free to join us on the #timvideos and hang out. We are a friendly bunch!

Hope this helps!
