Why should I use an FPGA in my video product? 
We explain "What is an FPGA and what are its benefits?":
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are increasingly becoming the go-to technology for video market applications due to their unique advantages.
FPGAs excel in real-time image and video processing, as they can handle multiple data streams simultaneously, offering high throughput and low latency essential for applications like surveillance, autonomous vehicles, and virtual reality.
Their parallel processing capabilities allow for efficient handling of complex algorithms that are too demanding for traditional software-based methods. This is particularly beneficial for tasks such as object detection, tracking, and classification in real-time video analysis.
Moreover, FPGAs provide a flexible and cost-effective solution compared to Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), with the added benefit of being reprogrammable, which is crucial in the rapidly evolving video technology sector. The ability to continuously upgrade and deploy new features without replacing hardware makes FPGAs a sustainable choice, reducing both time-to-market and non-recurring engineering costs.
With the increasing need to focus on environmental impact, the lower power consumption of FPGAs compared to CPUs and GPUs is appealing. FPGAs are highly efficient in processing with a great power-to-performance ratio, which translates to reduced energy usage and lower thermal output.
In summary, FPGAs offer a combination of speed, flexibility, and efficiency, making them an attractive option for advanced video processing solutions in a market that demands constant innovation.
