Research of Video Signal Generator in Aircraft Based on FPGA+DSP

Abstract:

Video signal generator in aircraft needs fast calculation speed and current generators usually are not suitable. This paper proposed a new generator based on FPGA+DSP. FPGA generated graphics using double frame buffers while DSP calculated a few parameters. We offered general functions library on host computer to design graphics. The generator overlapped graphics and video. By accelerating the graphics drawn by FPGA, the generator improves performance and simplifies program.
