Sanyo has adopted Altera Corporation's HardCopy structured ASIC family with a Nios II embedded processor for image processing and enhancement for PLV-Z5 series of home projectors.

The company is already using Altera's programmable logic solutions in it's PLV-Z5. The PLV-Z5 is a high contrast (10000:1) home entertainment projector with 16:9 wide-screen. It has a resolution of 1280 x 720 and weighs around 11.0 lbs. It features an innovative 3D color management and 2X zoom and lens shift.

Earlier, Sanyo had also integrated an embedded system solution using Stratix FPGAs and Nios II processors to perform critical image enhancement functions in PLV-Z4.

Together, the HardCopy device and Nios II processor deliver a combination of digital signal processing (DSP) performance and programming flexibility that efficiently integrates many video functions into a single device.

According to the company, intelligent image processing and enhancement operations performed by the Altera-based system include automatic gamma adjustment, noise reduction, color management, matrix sharpness, and several presentation modes optimized for specific types of content.

Kazuto Sugimura, General Manager of Technology Unit, Projector Central Business Unit, DI Company, Sanyo, said, "For our earlier PLV-Z4 home projector model, Altera's Stratix FPGAs and Nios II processors gave us the embedded system we needed to deliver the highest quality visual experience. This time, by using the Stratix FPGA plus HardCopy structured ASIC solution for the PLV-Z5, we can design new features and functions more quickly and cost-effectively than alternative silicon solutions allow."

Sanyo believes that the seamless migration path from a Stratix FPGA to a low-cost HardCopy structured ASIC for volume production will enable consumer industry leaders to offer advanced, high-demand features when customers want them.

The PLV-Z5 projector from Sanyo is being showcased at the Consumer Electronic Show 2007.
