Nexys Video Artix-7 FPGA Training Board

• Internal clock speeds exceeding 450MHz
• On-chip analog-to-digital converter (XADC)
• Up to 3.75Gbps GTP transceivers
• Dedicated onboard USB port for JTAG programming and data transfers
• HDMI sink and HDMI source

The Nexys Video Artix-7 FPGA Training Board is the latest addition to Nexys line of FPGA boards, and was designed with audio/video enthusiasts in mind. The Nexys Video features several components that make it ideal for developing audio/video applications. The Artix-7 XC7A200T FPGA is the most powerful chip from the Xilinx Artix-7 family. A Mini DisplayPort source provides the board with a uni-directional, high-bandwidth, low-latency audio/video channel. Designed with high bandwidth external memories, three high-speed digital video ports, and a 24-bit audio codec, the Nexys Video is a potent platform for A/V development.

As a member of the Nexys family, the Nexys Video has been designed with a high degree of communication, user and expansion peripherals commonly found in industry. Communication peripherals such as on-board Ethernet, USB-UART, and high-speed USB allow the Nexys Video to be interfaced into larger systems. Onboard user peripherals such as switches, buttons, LEDs, and an OLED display allow users to interface directly with their designs instead of needing to wire up additional I/O. An FMC connector and four Pmod ports allow the addition of peripherals to further expand the functionality of the Nexys Video.
