Nova is a low-power realtime H.264/AVC baseline decoder of QCIF resolution, targeting mobile applications. It is a dedicated, full hardwired and self-contained ASIC design without utilizing any GPP/DSP cores. It has been successfully verified on Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA and 0.18um ASIC chip. The measured power consumption is 293uW@1V for 30fps QCIF decoding.

Its rally great! what is the licensing cost (if any). can we procure this decoder for new application?
ReplyDeleteH.264 Video Codec on FPGA
ReplyDeleteHardware video encoders & decoders are efficient way of implementing performance oriented, low power Video Codecs. The hardware have high computational and memory bandwidth capabilities that are essential to real-time image/video processing systems, when compared with DSP processors. The products like Digital video recorders, Video wireless devices, Video surveillance systems, Hand held HDTV video cameras, requires low power high performance implementation. The important step towards this realization is to prototype the Codec in FPGA.
