Allegro DVT showcases its HEVC/H.265 Video Decoder IP at Mobile World Congress 2013

HEVC (aka “High Efficiency Video Coding”) is the next generation video standard, developed by the JCT-VC team. JCT-VC is a joint team between MPEG and VCEG. The HEVC standard, finalized in January 2013, will bring 50% bitrate savings compared to equivalent H.264/AVC encodings.



At the Mobile World Congress, Allegro DVT will present on its booth:

HEVC/H.265 Hardware Decoding IP, the world first HEVC/H.265 hardware decoder IP, based on an unprecedented multi-core architecture. This gives our implementation the following key competitive advantages:

support decoding of 4K resolutions at 60 Hz and beyond.
target decoding performance is met at a lower operating frequency, allowing a high level of power savings, critical to mobile applications.
the multi-core architecture doesn’t add any constraints on the encoders such as slicing or tiling pictures, which prevents adding artifacts and allows the best possible video quality.


H.264 Hardware Encoding & Codec IPs, with best-in-class video quality, minimized silicon area, optimized power consumption and an ultra-low end-to-end latency for Miracast support.



WiGig WDE Codec IP, the most advanced Wireless Display Extension (WDE) codec for next generation 60 GHz wireless technology: 802.11 ad/WiGig.



HEVC/H.265 Compliance Streams, provide HEVC/H.265 decoder manufacturers with the perfect tool for validating their developments, and ensure compliance with this upcoming video standard.



Please come and book a private demonstration at the Mobile World Congress 2013, Hall 5, booth 8 and 9 of the French Pavilion (#5E100).



Allegro DVT is a leading provider of H.264/MPEG-4 AVC|SVC|MVC and HEVC/H.265 solutions, including industry standard compliance test suites, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and HEVC/H.265 encoder, codec and decoder hardware (RTL) IPs; and multiscreen encoders and transcoders. Allegro DVT products have been chosen by more than 100 major IC providers, OEMs and broadcasters.

RE: NexGen HEVC Video Standard Approved

HEVC+.jpg


The upcoming HEVC (H.265) video codec promises to deliver 4K video at 60fps using just 10Mbps per second. H.265/High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the successor codec to H.264, which, like H.264, is jointly developed by the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group and ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG). The primary goal of the new codec is 50 percent better compression efficiency than H.264 and support for resolutions up to 8192x4320. That's quite an impressive feat, considering most video codecs today require 20-25Mbps to stream 1080p HD video at high quality settings. The standard itself was approved by the ITU and ISO on January 25th and since then has been touted by various organizations involved as the future of HD video playback. Check the video after the break.

HEVC members claim that H.265 halves the data used by H.264 at the same or better level of quality. Docomo states that they plan to license their codec in March for Full-HD video playback on smartphones, which should enable much faster playback and video quality improvements, says BSN.

NEC's Video Coding Technology Adopted in Final Draft for HEVC

Video coding technology developed by NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701), in collaboration with several partners, has been adopted in the final draft international standard for high efficiency video coding (HEVC) (*1), a new international video coding standard. HEVC is scheduled to be an international standard this coming May.

HEVC is a next-generation video coding standard that is suitable for online distribution of 4K video (*2), super high vision broadcasting (*3) and distribution of full HD video (*4) for mobile devices.

(*1) As of the end of January 2013, ISO/IEC and ITU-T had approved HEVC as ISO/IEC 23008-2 High Efficiency Video Coding and ITU-T Rec. H.265 respectively, as the final draft international standard. HEVC is comprised of video coding technologies developed by several companies including NEC.

Key features of these new technologies include the following:


Predictive coding technology for image quality control parameters allows highly detailed patterns to be represented in a small volume of data
The technology for predictively coding image quality control parameters is developed to adjust compression rates for each of the highly detailed regions in an image, and to eliminate the redundancy of auxiliary data for image quality adjustment that are needed for restoration of compressed data. This enables representation of extremely fine patterns in an image, which existing technologies are unable to achieve.

PCM coding technology for preventing data compression volume from growing too large
Controlling the block size and the accuracy of bits for coding images resulted in the development of technology for coding compressed data at a predetermined constant rate, irrespective of the complexity of the designs and patterns that the data contained. This enables efficient transmission of compressed data even if it contains complex patterns and designs.
 
Ittiam Systems Announces Availability and Software Licensing of HEVC (H.265)

Ittiam Systems Announces Availability and Software Licensing of HEVC (H.265) Video Encoder and Decoder for Professional, Enterprise and Consumer Digital Media Markets

Real-time HEVC Encoder and Decoder for high quality content creation, efficient delivery, and seamless playback in Broadcast, Distribution, Smart TV and Mobile Applications

Ittiam Systems, a leader in video compression technologies, today announced the availability of its Video Encoder and Decoder for the recently ratified next generation High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard. These software solutions have been sampled and licensed by select customers and partners across North America, Europe and Asia in the past six months.

Ittiam Systems’ HEVC Encoder is a software implementation on Intel x86 based platforms, capable of High Definition (HD) broadcast quality video encoding with up to 50% compression gains over H.264 based encoders. This significant improvement in compression ratio will enable Broadcasters and Over-The-Top (OTT) television service providers to realize higher capacity in transmission of HD as well as UltraHD (4Kx2K) content at lower bitrates.

Ittiam’s HEVC Encoder also targets offline content creation and transcoding or re-purposing for Cloud and Server based media services. DSP based implementations of Ittiam’s HEVC Encoder will be available later in the year.

Ittiam Systems’ HEVC Decoder software for ARM CortexTM-A9 and CortexTM-A15 based SoCs allows a wide range of existing Consumer Electronics (CE) devices such as Smartphones, Tablets, Smart TVs and Set-Top Boxes to play back High Definition (HD) HEVC content. Architected to take advantage of ARMv7 Instruction Set Architecture, NEONTM engine and multi core processors, Ittiam’s HEVC Decoder enables early deployment of the HEVC standard without the need for new or dedicated silicon.
