V4L2 PCIe - Introduction

Template:V4L2 PCIe/TOC

Modern systems require each day more complex algorithms, however the execution of these require more complex systems. Some systems such as GPUs allow for acceleration might be prohibiting in terms of power. FPGAs on the other hand allow for faster execution and more power efficient at the cost of a harder development cycle and a harder integration into existing multimedia systems. V4L2 PCIe is project from Ridgerun Engineering which allows for easy integration of FPGA-based systems into multimedia systems such as GStreamer.
