NTT Electronics support H.264/AVC HDTV codec

2008-12-2,- NTT Electronics Corporation developed the piggyback has support for H.264/AVC (Note 1) HDTV real-time codec LSI "PINEA" (Note 2) PCI Express module "PINEA module".

This product is equipped with a built-in DDR memory and uses a stack package codec LSI, the module can easily realize PC platform h.264/AVC codec system architecture.

As digital video compression format, H.264/AVC began to be widely broadcast, next-generation DVD and mobile terminals, etc.

H.264/AVC with high compression algorithms, can achieve high compression rate. On the other hand, in order to implement huge calculus, also requires a high degree of processing power. Although PC high speed rapidly spread, however, use the software for full HD video and standard definition video with real-time processing of multichannel encoding also slightly less, so the market appeared to be stable realization of real-time encoding hardware codec needs.

In order to meet the market demand, the company has now developed to work with PC/server field in mainstream compatible PCI Express support H.264/AVC HDTV real-time decoding module.

This product is able to achieve high definition video compression, and can realize the miniaturization and low-power, and the various video device miniaturization and high performance of contribution, through support for universal PCI Express helps shorten development time.

NTT Electronics will enter this product for mass production stage, and from June 2009, accept orders and production.

【 PINEA module's characteristics and uses 】

(1) equipped with a support H. H.264/AVC HDTV real-time codec LSI "PINEA" piggyback has support for advanced video compression technology, H.264/AVC encoding/decoding of single-chip LSI "PINEA."

Because you can support Full HD (1080i/720p) 1 channel, SD 4-channel or 8-channel input CIF (Note 3), and therefore can support a variety of application software.

(2) to pick up a Motion JPEG decoding functions the product market in Mount controlled mainstream Motion JPEG decoding capabilities.

By entering the PINEA module Motion JPEG video, you can actually convert the compression ratio when higher H.264/AVC.

(3) to pick up with AES encryption functionality supported by AES (Note 4) encryption features.

Ideal for network TV Conference and monitoring, etc.

(4) main use may apply to the PC platform videoconferencing, compatible with multi channel DVR (digital video recorder), monitoring control device, professional video server and PC video compression accelerator.

【 Terminology explained 】

(Note 1) H.264/AVC it is 2004 by ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Standardization sector electrical) and ISO (International Standardization Organization) common standardized video codec specification.

At the same time, also called MPEG-4 AVC. It can be equal to two times more than MPEG-2 high data compression rates.

(Note 2) PINEA it is a way to have a PCI Express interface, while reducing PC load can be single-chip implementation of high definition video compression and regeneration of video codec LSI.

It supports H.264/AVC, MPEG-2 by equivalent to half the size of the data or bit rate to high definition. It uses built-in DDR memory stack package for miniaturization and low power.

(Note 3) to correspond to the SD 4-channel or 8-channel input CIF compatible SD 4-channel or 8-channel input CIF.

Through the PC will be more than one channel video synthesis, and enter the PINEA module, allowing full HD picture of synthesis and decrypt the encodings.

(Note 4) AESA Advanced Encryption Standard abbreviation.

Adopted by the United States Department of Commerce National Institute of standards and technology, the selected encryption algorithm, to achieve a high level of security.
