This Intel white paper explains how FPGAs enable high-performance live video production as the industry shifts from SDI hardware to IP-based workflows. Standards like SMPTE ST-2110 demand low-latency, high-bandwidth processing of video, audio, and metadata. FPGAs provide hardware acceleration for SDI-to-IP gateways, NICs, and video/audio processing pipelines, supporting up to 8K video and multichannel audio with minimal CPU load. Intel Agilex FPGAs integrate connectivity, scaling, HDR, and compression in compact, power-efficient designs, while SmartNIC N6000-PL and the Open FPGA Stack accelerate deployment. Benefits include flexibility, scalability, and real-time reliability for broadcast and media production.
