4K/UHD 4:2:0/4:2:2 Multi-Format Encoder

Overview

Allegro DVT’s AL-E200 encoder IP features a new hardware architecture that minimizes the silicon area while enabling 4K resolution encoding in a single core. The AL-E200 encoder is built around a true multi format architecture that shares resources between the H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, VP9 and JPEG compression standards, while providing superior video encoding quality. The AL-E200 also has multiple new smart encoding features allowing customers to considerably reduce the bitrate to meet their application specific requirements.
