Fraunhofer HHI offers an ultra-low latency video encoder compliant with the H.264 baseline profile. The encoder is implemented as a hardwired solution, which can be mapped on FPGAs or ASICs without the need of external memory. It is especially tailored to real-time applications and allows up to 1080p encoding with today's FPGA or ASIC technologies.
Benefits
- Low delay, low latency codec delay < 1 macroblock line (at least 3ms)
- H.264 baseline profile subset
- Coding of progressive video using H.264 Main Profile syntax with Baseline toolset (no CABAC used)
- Coding and decoding using all 4x4 intra coded blocks with prediction modes and 16x16 modes
- Coded stream can be decoded with every H.264 compliant decoder e.g. DVD Player with H.264 support
- Picture resolution up to HD
- YUV 4:2:0 8Bit
- Data rates up to 80Mbit/s
- clock cycle requirements:
- 640x480@25Hz => 18 MHz
- 800x600@30Hz => 33,75 MHz
- 1280x720@60Hz => 129 MHz
- 1920x1080@30Hz => 145,8 MHz
