Latency and synchronisation are the entire problem. Contribution and distribution infrastructure carries video that cannot be late, cannot drift and cannot be re-sent — so timing distribution, deterministic transport and amplifier efficiency decide the system long before any feature does.
| Application | Platforms drawn on | Products involved |
|---|---|---|
| Video over IP transport | Silicon, Connected Edge | SERDES, high-speed interface IP |
| Facility and network timing | Silicon | IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol IP |
| Contribution and distribution links | Radio | SDR platform, satellite modem |
| Broadcast transmitter efficiency | Radio | DPD and CFR IP cores |
| FPGA video processing datapaths | Silicon | DSP slice IP, FPGA design |
| Signal integrity and board design | Silicon | High-speed PCB, channel modelling |
Everything for this sector
Assembled from one registry rather than written per page, so a link added anywhere appears from both ends.
Because sources across a facility or network must share a common clock for their outputs to be combined coherently. Hardware timestamping at the interface, rather than in software, is what makes the accuracy achievable — which makes it an IEEE 1588 problem before it is a video problem.
The channel. At the rates uncompressed and lightly compressed video demands, insertion loss, crosstalk and jitter budget determine what is achievable — the silicon is rarely the constraint.
High-power transmitters face the same physics as cellular base stations: efficiency rises as the amplifier is driven toward saturation, and spectral masks punish the distortion that causes. Pre-distortion recovers the headroom that efficiency costs.
Tell us the specification, the constraint and the deadline. Programmes that cross silicon, radio, embedded and AI are where Faststream is strongest.
