HEVC and AVC


WAVE677DV

WAVE677DV is a 4K/8K multi-standard video codec HW IP that supports AV1, HEVC/H.265, AVC/H.264, and VP9 video codec standard. It provides 8K60fps@1GHz, 4K240fps@1GHz, or 4K120fps@500MHz real-time encoding and decoding performance with a dual-core solution.

 

WAVE677DV 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

 

WAVE677DV 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.

WAVE541C

WAVE541C

WAVE541C is a dual-CORE codec IP, optimally architected for real-time encoding or decoding video up to 8K60fps in either HEVC/H.265 or AVC/H.264 standards. SoCs powered with WAVE541C bring 8K content readiness to video generating devices, for example, action cams, mobile video recorders, 360-degree VR devices, and more. This readiness will enable contents creators to generate videos and share them on video platforms like YouTube, which already supports 8K video streaming. In terms of video quality, WAVE541C achieves the best possible video quality given the condition that real-time encoding at such a high resolution and frame rate on portable devices. Also, this IP core is designed to have a competitive video quality of x.264/x.265 medium present on the PC or server.
