Flexible Industrial Display Controller

Present day Industrial display controllers are required to interface to both the modern equipment as well as to old and existing equipments. The use of FPGAs to implement graphics processing as well as interfacing to old video signals in old video format helps address the obsolescence problem as well as providing additional display processing functions to enhance the captured video real-time.
