Multi-format Hardware Codec IP for Internet-connected applications
The Chips&Media's new CODA9 series - the hardware full HD encoder and decoder core, CODA960 and CODA980 - is designed to meet the strong demand for increased digital video quality, higher resolution and frame-rates for next generation multimedia applications.
The core is capable of decoding or encoding up to 1080p 60 frames per second enabling real-time video transcoding or communication and it can even achieve up to 4K(4Kx2K) resolution which is over four times the size of 1080p.
The CODA9 series adds full decoding support for MVC for stereoscopic 3D experiences and Theora and WebM(VP8) for internet-connected and HTML5-enabled devices.
