As a leading provider of software and hardware based H.264/AVC video solutions, FastVDO offers cost-effective and well-suited technology to our customers that enable them to achieve measurable improvements in their business performance.
Adding to our comprehensive range of leading video technology, FastVDO has developed a customizable ASIC IP for decoding H.264 compliant streams. DSPs and other processors are incapable of handling complex algorithms employed in H.264 and DSP based solutions support limited resolutions and consume lot of power. To overcome this problem, FastVDO has developed customizable ASIC IP that can be easily incorporated in any 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.
salient 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; 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
