FV264 is a customizable ASIC IP for decoding H.264 compliant streams. H.264 decoder ASIC IP overcomes the limitations of DSPs and other processors based solutions that support limited resolutions and consume lot of power.
FV264 is easy to incorporate in any existing or new SOC or media processors. The core is customizable and is completely compliant to Baseline or main profile. The core has been prototyped on Xilinx Virtex4 based FPGA board for complete functionality.
H.264 / AVC Baseline Main and High profile decoder
Overview
Key Features
- Decoder Core is completely pipelined hardware architecture and does not use any processor or DSP cores.
- Single S-RAM, SD-RAM or DDR-RAM required. Core can have independent or high speed shared memory
- Synchronous single clocked design and low power architecture
- Minimal processing required from host CPU. Core can be fully autonomous or stream can be fed through the host
- Supports various resolutions from sub QCIF to HD and the core is customizable to provide optimal performance in power consumption
- Supports both entropy coding techniques (CAVLC and CABAC)
- Supports all modes of intra and inter prediction techniques with up to quarter pixel interpolation
- Supports interlace decoding and in loop de-blocking filter
- IP core is prototyped on a Xilinx FPGA and provide real time verification of the decoder
- Ideal for mobile processors, set-top boxes, handheld devices, media processors all low power and compact multimedia SOCs
- FastVDO can extend design services and tool support for integration of the decoder IP core
