PCIe and DisplayPort based high speed Volumetric 3D video output card implementation in FPGA

Abstract

This paper presents implementation of high-speed 3D volumetric video content output card based on digital electronics building blocks - Xilinx FPGA (multi gigabit transceivers and PCIe integrated block) and DDR3 RAM memory. Volumetric 3D video stream is mapped on DisplayPort 1.2 standard. Volumetric 3D image transfer rates up to 30Hz are achieved using Virtex-6 (XC6VLX240T-1FF1156) on ML605 development board. Higher transfer rates are planned in final design, using “-2” speed grade FPGA.
