Conversion of STANAG RGsB Analog Video to 24-Bit RGB Video Format by Using Analog Video Decoder and FPGA

Now a days innovations have become even more invasive; this work outlines a method for converting STANAG RGsB analog video to a 24-bit RGB video format utilizing an analog video decoder and a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The STANAG RGsB (Red, sync-on-Green, Blue) is a common analog video format used in military applications, and the conversion to a digital RGB format enables compatibility with modern display systems. The proposed solution involves employing an analog video decoder to extract the RGsB video signal and synchronizing it with the FPGA-based video processing system. The analog video decoder converts the RGsB signal into digital video component. Once the digital video component is fed into the FPGA, it performs required processing tasks. The FPGA implementation includes functions such as colour space conversion, synchronization adjustment, resolution scaling, and necessary image enhancements or corrections. The FPGA's programmability allows for customization and optimization of the video processing algorithms to suit the specific requirements of the application. Furthermore, the FPGA can also incorporate additional functionalities such as overlaying graphical elements, text, or video analytics onto the converted RGB video stream. The proposed solution offers a flexible and scalable approach for converting STANAG RGsB analog video to a digital RGB format, leveraging the capabilities of both analog video decoders and FPGA-based video processing. This conversion enables seamless integration of legacy analog video sources into modern video systems, facilitating enhanced situational awareness and visual communication in military applications and beyond. The resulting digital video output provides improved compatibility with modern display systems, hence can be readily displayed on LCD/LED monitors, projectors, or other digital display devices without the need for specialized analog interfaces or converters.
