The ARINC 818 Switch IP Core is engineered to address the increasing demand for versatile video switching in avionics systems. Built to manage up to 12 ARINC 818 channels, this IP core excels in various switching modes including broadcast, unicast, multicast, and mixed modes, ensuring comprehensive control over video and data routes.\n\nCompliant with the ARINC 818-2 standards, the switch utilizes a simple streaming interface accommodating a wide array of video outputs, which can be managed through intelligent synchronous switching. It supports multiple link rates up to 4x, offering flexibility for video signal routing in complex avionics environments. The switch can operate over optical transmission media or using copper interfaces, depending on the system requirements.\n\nUnique to this switch is its ability to perform real-time link control and monitoring via an AXI-4 lite interface, enhancing operational efficiency. The hardware implementation allows for quick adaptation according to specific interface control document (ICD) requirements, typically within a 3-4 week delivery window, providing significant agility to meet evolving system demands.
