H.264-15 Encoder IP Core


The new H.264-15 core represents a huge leap in performance with just a small increase in size over our previous generation core. Encoding and decoding performance have been doubled with just a 30% increase in gate count. A single H.264-15 core is capable of compressing or decompressing 1080p30 video in a Microchip device. Additionally,it is more flexible bus interface that allows simultaneous and asynchronous access to reference frame memory, video input data, and compressed data (in or out). A complete IP camera can now be created in a single, low-cost Microchip device!


Features and Benefits


  •  
  • Video Compression Capabilities :
    • Supports compression up to 4K resolution (3840 × 2160) at 60 fps
    • Implements compression on YCbCr 4:2:0 video format
    • Accepts input in YCbCr 4:2:2 video format
    • Supports 8-bit depth for each color component: Y, Cb, Cr
  • Output Format:
    • Generates ITU-T H.264 Annex B compliant NAL byte stream output
  • Performance and Efficiency:
    • Processes at 1 pixel per clock per slice
    • Supports up to 4 slices for parallel compression
    • Achieves minimal latency:
      • 252 µs for full HD (equivalent to 17 horizontal lines)
  • Runtime Configurability:
    • User-configurable QP (Quality Parameter) during runtime
    • Dynamic configuration of:
      • Number of P-frames per I-frame
      • Skip block threshold value
  • System Integration:
    • Standalone operation — no CPU or processor assistance required
    • Interfaces with external memory via video arbiter interface for DDR frame buffer access
