for the most efficient balance of performance and power, while meeting the stringent thermal and safety requirements of the automotive industry. Within the car, the Intel GO solution offers a scalable development and compute platform for critical functions including sensor fusion, driving policy, environment modeling, path planning and decision making. In the data center, Intel GO offers a wide range of technologies ranging from the high performance Intel® Xeon® processors,

in combination with Intel CPU and FPGA technologies, forms the Central Computing Platform to be integrated into each autonomous vehicle. Mobileye will further collaborate with the BMW Group to develop the sensor fusion solution, creating a full model of the environment surrounding the vehicle, using input from vision, radar, and lidar sensors. As well as establishing a driving policy, including

to Intel ® Arria ® 10 FPGAs and Intel® Solid State Drives to the Intel® Nervana™ platform for artificial intelligence that provides a powerful machine and deep learning training and simulation infrastructure required for the autonomous driving industry. Mobileye contributes its proprietary EyeQ ® 5 high-performance computer vision processor offering automotive-grade functional safety and low-power performance. The EyeQ®5 is responsible for processing and interpretation of input from the 360-degree surround view vision sensors as well as localization. EyeQ®5, Rohde & Schwarz presents new HLG test solution for latest-generation video consumer electronics Mobileye’s reinforcement learning algorithms used to endow the vehicle system with the artificial intelligence required to safely negotiate complex driving situations. To further propel the development of the autonomous platform, the partnership plans to release hardware samples and software updates in the upcoming years. The BMW iNEXT model, which will be introduced in 2021, will be the foundation for BMW Group’s autonomous driving strategy. Following this vehicle, a range of highly automated models from all BMW Group brands will follow.

Rohde & Schwarz is expanding its R&S VTx video tester family to include tests for HLG-capable devices in line with the HDMI 2.0b standard. Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) is an enhancement to the high dynamic range (HDR) technique that allows good-quality replay of state-of-the-art picture material even on non-HDR-capable devices. This is a crucial factor in the successful introduction of the spectacular HDR technique for a more intensive and realistic home theater experience. The Rohde & Schwarz R&S VTC/VTE/VTS video tester family is an innovative solution for testing the performance and interoperability of future generations of HDR/HLG-capable video consumer electronics. It is based on the recently introduced flexible T&M module for HDMI and HDR tests. The new module offers generator and analyzer functionality for data rates up to 18 Gbit/s as well as functions such as scrambling introduced with the new HDMI standard. Now it can also test HLG-capable devices. This includes testing and emulation of the signaling function and

the generation of new test patterns. The solution is downward compatible with HDMI 1.4 and supports HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.2. It covers realtime protocol testing and compliance testing in line with HDMI CTS 1.4/2.0, providing users with a test tool that can be used in various applications throughout the consumer electronics

value chain. The generator function can be used to edit the Dynamic Range and Mastering InfoFrame specifically for HDR and HLG. It displays the Enhanced Extended Display Identification Data (E-EDID) of the connected sink, including the HDR metadata block. It also permits the playback of customer-specific, uncompressed moving picture sequences. The analyzer unit provides suitable E-EDID and displays the Dynamic Range and Mastering InfoFrame. The video analyzer functionality provides bit-accurate display of the electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) in use. HDR CTS tests are available for both the generator and the analyzer.
