Overview

This Video Over IP Subsystem integrates H.264 compression, Transport Stream and RTP/UDP/IP encapsulation to enable the rapid development of complete video streaming products. Hardware reference designs and customization services complete the solution. 

The subsystem can be configured to use one of the H.264 Low Power or Ultra-Fast encoder cores and the MTS-E, RTP and UDPIP, hardware stacks available from CAST. Flexible interfaces allow easy integration of video, memory, and network controllers, and AXI4-Lite slave interfaces allow a host processor to access all control and status registers. An optional custom logic module allows standalone, processor-free operation and provides access to control and status registers via UDP packets. Video and stream data are transferred among the subsystem’s modules using AXI-Stream, making removing or adding modules straightforward.   

The produced stream can be decoded using H.264-compatible software viewers (e.g. VLC), or CAST’s Low-Latency H.264 Decoder subsystem.

Understanding - and Reducing - Latency in Video Compression Systems

In the video world, latency is the amount of time between the instant a frame is captured and the instant that frame is displayed. Low latency is a design goal for any system where there is real-time interaction with the video content, such as video conferencing or drone piloting.

Understanding - and Reducing - Latency in Video Compression Systems

In the video world, latency is the amount of time between the instant a frame is captured and the instant that frame is displayed. Low latency is a design goal for any system where there is real-time interaction with the video content, such as video conferencing or drone piloting. But the meaning of “low latency” can vary, and the methods for achieving low latency aren’t always obvious. Here we’ll define and explain the basics of video latency, and discuss how one of the biggest impacts in reducing latency comes from choosing the right video encoding.
