Image Matters To Showcase
Multiple IP-Core Integrations
T

his year at IBC, Image Matters will
showcase demos with different
IP-Core integrations from origami
members as well as new hardware
products: the IM-B21 from Image
Matters; the IM-C21 set-top-box made
in collaboration with NGCodec; and the
e4 appliance from LDA Technologies.
Consisting of 21 active members, the
origami Ecosystem provides design
services (Adeas, Fidus), manufacturing
services (Tokyo Electron Device),
hardware parts and boards (Embrionix,
Image Matters, LDA Technologies,
Samtec, Xilinx), distribution services
(Fujitsu Electronics EU, inrevium,
Village Island), and IP-Cores (Atria
Logic, Crucial-IP, Helion Vision,
IBEX Technology, intoPIX, LDA
Technologies, NGCodec, Omnitek,
PathPartner, SOC Technologies, VYU
Sync, Xilinx).
IP-Cores available in the origami
Ecosystem include TICO, JPEG 2000,
HEVC, AVC, MPEG2, PCIe Gen3,

12G-SDI, 10G Ethernet, deinterlacing, up and down
scaling, warping, de-noising,
image pre-processing.
From HD to 8K, from SDI
to IP, from uncompressed to
compressed, from camera to
screen, Image Matters' solutions
and origami Ecosystem provide
infinite possibilities to re-invent
design and manufacture of
advanced audiovisual systems.
"We believe modularity is the key to
future-proof designs. Based on FPGA
modules and with the help of origami
Ecosystem partners, new product
creation has never been faster and
easier, leading to an incredibly rapid
level of go-to-market," said JeanFrançois Nivart, Image Matters' CEO.

include a SafeFly mode, which allows
users to prepare batteries for air
travel or shipment by discharging the
packs down to 30% with a click of a
button. A 'hypercine mode' parallels
all packs and provides power to either
an unregulated 12v to 16.8v four-pin
XLR or a 28v regulated three-pin XLR
DC output to power large-draw setups.
All of these professional features
come in a package that fits in with
the overall need to keep weight and
size down. Each four-position Fleet
Micro Charger measures 9.1in x 3.35in
x 12.17in and weighs 5lbs., while the
two-position model measures 9.1in x

IM-C21 is an advanced set-top-box
platform integrating a IM-B20 module
connected by origami. Designed in
partnership with NGCodec, the IM-C21
provides a fast and affordable route to
market. It is highly connected
through 12G-SDI, HDMI video
input and output, Ethernet and
USB, and provides control with
an embedded ARM processor.
The

from
LDA
Technologies, paired with
IM-B21 carrier and IM-B20
module answers any customer
IP requirements. This 1U sized
unit features 48 SFP+ ports on
the front panel for up to 10G
Ethernet and 12G-SDI interfaces. The
e4 leverages all Gigabit Transceivers
from an FPGA to match the most
demanding applications.
IM-B42 is the ultimate gearbox
platform, targeting high bandwidth
applications such as the new emerging
UHD-2 8K resolution, and providing
flexibility with its 12G-SDI and 10G
Ethernet ready ports. Acquisition and
transmission of an 8K signal becomes
child's play with this standard PCIe
form factor board.
