Video Codec IP


WAVE637DV

WAVE637DV is a 4K multi-standard video codec HW IP that supports AV1, HEVC/H.265, AVC/H.264, and VP9 video codec standard. It provides 4K60fps@500MHz real-time encoding and decoding performance with a single-core solution.

 

WAVE637DV is based on WAVE6 architecture which is the latest C&M video architecture. WAVE6 architecture is designed to cover a wide range of requirements from customers who are looking for high-performance and high-quality encoder IP. In order to achieve improved encoding image quality, WAVE6 encoding tools have been enhanced from WAVE5 encoding tools. The additional improvements in WAVE6 architecture are shown in the following as well:

 

  • Improved bandwidth efficiency

  • Reduced external memory size & latency during the encoding process

  • Competitive IP size & single clock design

 

WAVE637DV is a favorable video IP solution for edge servers (video transcoding, data center, and video analytics), mobile devices, GPU, automotive, surveillance, AR/VR, and various consumer devices.

WAVE521CL
WAVE521C

WAVE521C is a 4K multi-format codec IP to support both HEVC/H.265 and AVC/H.264 video formats. The IP core provides high-performance encode and decode capability up to 4K60fps with a single-core architecture and an optimized silicon area for 4K Ultra-HD applications such as security IP-cameras, wearable cameras, drone cameras, automotive, NVR, and more. WAVE521C is able to encode and/or decode any resolution up to 8192x4096 and guarantees real-time performance for encoding/decoding 4K60fps @500MHz. In addition, by sharing common blocks of the HEVC/H.265 and AVC/H.264 codec, the IP architecture becomes streamlined with minimum logics and memories fitting into small-sized SoCs. Thereby SoCs using WAVE521C are perfectly suited for applications requiring high performance with very low power consumption.
