Change 4 channels to one parallel interface

Hi All

I want to change 4 channels LVDS signal to one parallel signal using cylone iV FPGA and LVDS rate is about 600Mbps. Could you give some advice and which FPGA is more suitable for me? Thank you.

    Thank you, but I mean one channel rate is 600Mbps, 4 channels rate is about 2400Mbps, which devide in cylone IV can meet this requirement?

    600Mbps / 4 LVDS channels = 150Mbps per channel.

    Basically, any of the FPGA LVDS ports can handle this, so You can use the smallest Cyclone device if You need only this feature.
