Is there a good example of video scaling with ztachip, ideally for up to 4K @60Hz?!

This is not an issue, but a mere question. Hope it is of interest for the wider community, since within "Affine transform" topics

How is the performance within standard Artix-7 target?

Can it do 4K, 60FPS, RGB888? If it can, is there horsepower left for the 2nd channel of the same, such as for stereo cameras?!

Any demo (YT post) you can share that showcases this transformation?

Are we saying that on-chip RAM is insufficient in size for this task, or also hard to tap into by the ztachip design?

I meant DDR memory bandwidth.
ztachip uses on-chip RAM for temporary buffer only but the bulk of data is in external DDR
A 4K video frame is taking 20MByte, too much for on-chip memory
I am working on next version ztachip that extends ztachip AXI bus to DDR controller to 128-bit. I think this will work better for 4K
Probably ready by end of the year.

... yes, it is understood that the off-chip DDR is the bottleneck. It always is 😉. It is also good news that DDR is being expanded to 128 bits.

The question however was more about the following:

  • If the algorithm does not need a Frame Buffer, how adaptive is the ztachip eco-system, both HW and SW, to such "streaming" processing model?!

Here is an interesting excerpt from Xilinx PG231 on this topic. For the "Scaling Only" mode, they don't need much storage, yet alone a large Frame Buffer.

That way they can support very high resolutions:
