FPGA Central

I do have a interesting project. I am planing to wire my house with duplex
multimode fiber. I would like to send from a central location of the house
multiple broadcast video and audio signals. The video should be either 10 or
12bit digital stream.
With the help of a FPGA we should multiplex I would say up to 5 digital
parallel video streams(each around 200Mbs, with 16M clk and 3Mbs for four
audio channels). The mux out should be 16 or 20bit data stream.

Are all the streams synchronous to each other? If not you'll have to
synchronise the streams with an overhead channel (probably).

They will be synchronous to each other.
I am planning to use four either 10 or 12 bit video ADC's, and sixteen audio
ADC's .
The 20 bit data out of the FPGA will feed the Agilent chip set that will
drive the laser.
On the receiver side the signal will be demuxed from the FPGA and will feed
Video and Audio DAC's.
I do not have a big experience with programmable devices, so I was wondering
if there are any standard engineering techniques and tricks to do that.

Thanks

The project sounds interesting but why send raw video? Isn't it easier
if it is compressed and then sent over a low bandwidth wifi network?

Indeed, MPEG-4 HDTV is 20 Mbps tops. www.videolan.org & Cat-5e would very
easy and cheap.
HTH, Syms.

Sounds like a Version of our GLINK for SDI-Video and without Keyboard ;-)
