Time to Market

Our automated design processes get your system up and running fast — so you can focus on your product, not individual components.

Cost Reduction

IRIS-SR fits on a single mid-range FPGA. Prior to Heronic, running a 1080p @ 30 FPS upscaler required more than 6 high-end FPGA devices.

Drop-in

Integration

No compilers, no large runtimes — just a pure hardware solution that drops straight into your existing video processing pipeline.

IRIS-SR Running Live

Watch IRIS-SR performing real-time super resolution on live video. The demo showcases 4K upscaling from a 1080p source with sub-frame latency on a single mid-range FPGA device — no GPU, no CPU inference pipeline.

How It Works

The Super Resolution Pipeline

Visualising the 3× upscaling process. The original low-resolution pixel grid is spatially mapped into a larger footprint, then bilinear interpolation fills the gaps to produce a sharp, high-resolution output.

Use Cases

Target Applications

  • Region of Interest Enhancement

    Cropped regions of a video can be zoomed in, recovering the original resolution and quality. ROI systems operate instantaneously and can handle multiple views at once.

  • Low Resolution Upscaling

    With the majority of production equipment still at FHD, achieving 4K broadcast requires real-time upscaling. Our hardware increases quality up to what customers demand.

  • Video Wall Processing

    Driving a high-resolution video wall from a low-resolution source requires powerful SR algorithms to ensure picture quality looks acceptable across all panels.

Target Markets

Our IP adds value across a wide range of industries.
