| Hello All; I am a beginner to FPGA programming scratching 
around, Therefore I would like to ask you some questions for your 
assistance.. I am about to select a thesis project about 
compression systems. I need to compress 256x256 
digitized video signal and after some operations i need to decompress it by 
using IDCT.. For this I have seen Sherif Taher Eid's DCT cores under http://www.opencores.org/cores/dct/dct.shtml . 
How can I use these cores for my circuit? Are these Cores like java classes in 
practice? Should i process these cores in the same FPGA chip that i will be 
using for my programs?  On the other hand I have seen Video Systems project 
under http://www.opencores.org/projects/video_systems ..Can 
I also use this Core?? I am bit confused, if you could help me about my 
questions then i will be very happy.  Have a good 
day, Aris |
