HEVC/AVC Single-core Video Codec IP of Low-cost Version

Overview

WAVE633LC is a 4K multi-standard video codec IP that supports HEVC/H.265 and AVC/H.264 video codec standards. WAVE633LC targets Low Cost, so B-frame is not supported in the encoding process and supports only 8-bit. It provides 4K60fps@500MHz real-time encoding and decoding performance with a single-core solution.

WAVE633LC is based on WAVE6 architecture which is the latest C&M video architecture. WAVE6 architecture is designed to cover a wide range of requirements from customers who are looking for cost-effective codec IP. The features of WAVE6 architecture for improved image quality are shown in the following, compared to the previous product line as well:

• Improved bandwidth efficiency
• Improved bus latency tolerance
• Reduced external memory size
• Competitive IP size & single-clock domain design

WAVE633LC is a favorable video IP solution for edge servers (video transcoding, data center, video analytics), mobile devices, GPU, automotive, surveillance, AR/VR, and various consumer devices.
