H.264 Decoder

The H.264 Decoder IP Core offers a high-efficiency video decoding solution tailored for a wide range of applications, including multimedia, surveillance, broadcast, and automotive systems. Compliant with the ITU-T H.264/AVC standard, it enables real-time decoding of high-definition video streams while maintaining low latency and power consumption.

Designed for flexibility, the IP core is highly configurable to meet specific design requirements, supporting both ASIC and FPGA implementations while optimizing for area, power, and performance. It supports baseline, main, and high profiles, and includes features like error resilience, low-latency decode modes, and seamless integration with video processing pipelines.
