Video Codec Integrated Solution IP Core

Enhanced Video Codec Integrated Solution IP Core

This IP core is a complete and enhanced video codec solution integrating both "stream" and "video" processing into a standalone subsystem with minimum load on the host CPU.

This high-end mobile 720p solution with scalability, high-quality video encoding capabilities, and extended value-add image and video
processing feature support at very small silicon cost and a very low power budget.

For multi-standard 720p video encoding like H.264 BP, MPEG-4 SP/ASP, H.263, and VC-1, this core supports an enhanced set of compression tools to achieve a video quality that is unprecedented in mobile environments with reduced bit rates.

Multi-standard decoding up to 720p resolution is supported for a wide and extensible range of video standards like H.264 BP, MPEG-4 SP/ASP (DivX), WMV9/VC-1 SP/MP, and Real Video at mobile bit rates.

Still image JPEG encoding and decoding is supported at a pixel rate up to 45MPixel/s. Furthermore, a wide range of value-add image and video processing features can be performed in parallel to decoding or encoding up to full 720p resolution.

This video codec integrated IP core is available as a drop-in solution proven in real system environments and optimized to tolerate long memory access latencies of real-world systems. Extensive conformance testing has been performed to assure high product quality and full customer satisfaction. Through its field upgradeability in silicon, the core provides a future-proof solution as product lifetime can be extended through addition of further standards and value add features simply by firmware update.
