The market constantly demands new products and features, so developers are turning to FPGAs to add new capabilities in as little as 6 to 9 months. For example, features like upscaling and image enhancement are easily implemented in FPGAs. Take advantage of this approach with the Cyclone&amp;#60;sup&amp;#62;&amp;#174;&amp;#60;/sup&amp;#62; III family, which offers an unprecedented combination of low power, high functionality, and low cost.&amp;#60;/p&amp;#62; ]]></description>
