Consultancy

Background

OmniTek offers an IP and design consultancy service which specialises in FPGA, electronics and software design for video and image processing applications in the broadcast, medical imaging, industrial and defence markets.

Our primary goal is to provide a pool of expertise in all aspects of video and image processing design. Our company philosophy is that excellence in design starts with outstandingly talented individuals who are motivated by innovative design. The fruits of this philosophy have been demonstrated many times through successful design contracts performed for companies throughout

the world on complex products. In 2008 OmniTek were awarded the Queen’s Award for Innovation.

OmniTek is also a manufacturer of products for the broadcast market and has MRP based production and test facilities available for consultancy work. Being a manufacturer has several significant advantages for our consultancy work. Selling our test and measurement products into broadcast and post production facilities gives us a clear view of industry trends. Also, being a manufacturer gives us a feet-on-the-ground outlook to the practicalities of product design.

Endorsements

“Altera has engaged with OmniTek to offer a scalable, 1080p video streaming solution. The combination of OmniTek’s expertise in A/V processing and IT technologies with Altera’s industry leading silicon and video framework provides our customers with the ability to get to market in the shortest time possible.”

Arun Iyengar, Senior Director of Altera’s Communication Business Unit

“OmniTek have worked on a number of FPGA design projects for Barco which have been of excellent design quality and delivered on schedule. In one design OmniTek provided an FPGA replacement of an existing video ASIC which resulted in a more flexible design. Being an FPGA, we can easily adapt this design to address specific customer without any hardware re-design”

Carl Hemeryck, Engineering Manager, Barco Medical Systems
