The PT56 IP core is sold with a single use, multiple unit license (i.e. you can use it for one project, but sell as many units of that project as you like). The IP core is supplied as RTL compliant Verilog source code for use in all FPGAs or ASICs. There is one off payment for the IP core with no further payments required. Design-in support is included for 6 months (it can be extended). On-site support is also available.

aCVi is SingMai's proprietary (and trademarked) method for the long distance transmission of high definition video.

SingMai are proposing the aCVi format as an 'Open Standard'. The specification for the format may be downloaded here:
