Pathpartner’s HEVC decoder on QuickPlay

Licensable ultra-low-latency universal HEVC decoder on Xilinx and Altera platforms

• Supports IPP, IBBP and Random access.
• Supports 8-bit and 10-bit.
• Decodes in real-time 4KP30 or lower.
• Fully compliant to ITU-T H.265 standard and supports Main-10 profile decoding

Characterized by minimal power-consumption and physical resource utilization, the high efficiency decoders perform with least resource utilization at 1080p @120 fps/4KP30 on FPGAs. The ultra-low-latency decoders support main profiles and up to Level 5.1

RamKishor Korada, Global head of Sales and Business Development at Pathpartner Technology says, “QuickPlay not only makes it easy for companies to use our IP blocks, but considerably reduces our effort in integrating our IP on various cloud platforms.
