Silicon Image Releases Scalable 4K-3D And Multi-Channel Video Decoder IP Core
Silicon Image today announced its enhanced, scalable cineramIC ultra high-definition video decoder.
The cineramIC IP core is now capable of decoding up to 4Kx2K 3D at 60 frames per second the leading edge of digital video technology advancements for prosumer and professional cameras and displays, including support for multi-channel decoding of up to 16 HD video streams simultaneously. The cineramIC IP core is designed for integration into ASIC system-on-chips (SoCs) for next-generation ultra high-definition digital televisions (HDTVs) and set-top-boxes (STBs) as well as prosumer and professional camera applications.
The IP cores scalable design delivers the following features:
* Dual-stream 4K video decoding (3D at 60 frames per second).
* Support for H.264, MPEG-1/2 and VC-1 decoding standards.
* MVC (Multi-view Video Coding), an extension of H.264 that supports multi-view video for 3D movies, sports and surveillance applications.
* Fully automatic multi-stream decoding for up to 16 HD streams, with error detection and concealment with minimal software processing.
* JPEG decoding of images up to 16Kx8K size at a rate of 9 pictures per second for 32 megapixel (MP) pictures.
* Up to 8Kx4K digital video decoding at 30 frames per second.
In addition to its high performance decoding capabilities, Silicon Images cineramIC IP core also supports H.264-MVC, which is designed to decode multi-channel 3D video while maintaining the highest quality. MVC enables the creation of a single video stream from multiple cameras, while maintaining backward compatibility with existing H.264/AVC codecs.
