Intellectual Property

Based on a powerful and patented architecture, the innovative concept powered by Imagem Technology and embodied by the ATHLET^® Intellectual Property, is an alternative solution to the conventional graphic chips to build display MMIs.

By construction, the ATHLET^® IP can be adapted to any systems topology and offers user-selectable functionalities to meet multimedia platforms and scalability requirements.

By choosing the FPGA material as support, the ATHLET^® IP benefits of its inherent flexibility and time to market capability.

Welcome to the colored world of Imagem 

With only three primary components, you can represent all the richness of your perception of the world.

Figure 1: The ATHLET® IP family

The Basic IP (Black) is the foundation of the ATHLET^® concepts. Each “color component” brings optional features totally in harmony with the initial concepts, and adapted to specific needs:

ATHLET^®: adds dynamic/real-time effects and primitives to Mobile Objects, to give a temporal dimension to your MMI without Operating System!

ATHLET^®: offers high-level graphics rendering primitives with high-quality anti-aliasing and sub-pixel management. This is the ideal candidate for instrumentation.

ATHLET^®: proposes high level components, state machines and stimulus management to design quickly and easily “attractive” MMIs and complex applications.

LIGHT option: brings significant core resource reduction, but Video and multi-displays is not possible. Black light, Green light support allows implementation in smaller FPGA dies for maximum cost efficiency without any quality restriction.

The dissociation of elementary features, allows combining them easily to satisfy either the simplest or the more complex needs of Man-Machine Interfaces, and to build just-adapted solutions.
