FPGA is only part of the game. Very often we use generic DSP's and function
specific DSP (video processors, audio processors, graphics accelerators) for
industrial products. All these components have extensive control inside the
product via i2C or other means to change their configurations and performance
in a large way. Again for well design product field upgradability is more
powefull then ever before.

know this and doesn't should retire. The WC-01 world video standards converters
I use for making NTSC video into CBS Field Sequential Color video are FPGA
based. http://tech-retro.com/Aurora_Design/World_Converter.html The gentleman
who designed this device has a great collection of working Pre-WW-II television
sets, both all-electrnic and mechanical-with Nipkow disks. He designed this
unit for himself and other collectors so they could have real 'period' video
signals to display on their nicely restored sets.
