The Altera Tone Mapping Operator FPGA IP core enables real-time conversion of high dynamic range (HDR) video to standard dynamic range (SDR), preserving visual detail and contrast for display compatibility. Designed for applications like broadcast, automotive, and surveillance, it performs tone mapping in hardware to reduce latency and offload processing from general-purpose processors. Optimized for Altera FPGA platforms, the core integrates easily into image processing pipelines and supports configurable parameters for flexible deployment in embedded and edge systems.
