Digital Design Corporation (DDC) is an ISO 9001:2015 certified design consultancy with more than 25 years of experience in FPGA, SoC, MLSoC, and GPU-centric systems, with a concentration in real-time video, imaging, and networking. Alongside client work for over 100 customers, including Fortune 500 companies, DDC maintains its own product lines: VAADR FPGA/SoC video recorders and ANetD PoE IoT appliances.
DDC takes ownership from interface design through custom logic and user-facing software, and reaches for off-the-shelf development hardware wherever it fits the job. For a customer that needed 2K@60fps live capture from an existing imaging system without disturbing it, DDC packetized video over eight LVDS pairs from spare debug I/O into an XEM8320, buffered frames in its 1 GiB DDR4, and built the operator GUI with the FrontPanel Python API and Gradio. As DDC's Andrew Newman puts it: "Developing custom hardware for prototyping systems and subsystems is both time consuming and expensive. Using off-the-shelf development hardware where possible practically always has better ROI."
