Product Overview

With the spread of 4K/8K broadcasting and streaming services, the demand for high-quality video distribution is increasing.
To meet this market demand, TMC offers multi-codec hardware IP that supports H.265/HEVC and H.264/AVC, which are video compression and decompression standards standardized by ISO/IEC.

This product supports up to 8K60fps and is compatible with high-precision processing such as YCbCr4:2:2 and 12-bit depth.
In addition, TMC’s proprietary compression technology reduces memory bandwidth usage, while features, such as ROI (Region of Interest) designation and multi-channel support, enable highly efficient video processing, delivering exceptional image quality.

These features make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including digital cameras and broadcasting equipment.

TM24544

Features

• This IP processes up to 8K60fps(*1) with H.265/HEVC and up to 4K120fps with H.264/AVC.
• It accommodates the 4:2:2 format, widely used in professional video production, with bit depths of up to 12 bits.
• TMC’s new proprietary compression technology reduces memory bandwidth by up to 50% for H.265/HEVC compared to its conventional product, leading to lower power consumption.
• High-quality, high-speed encoding for HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format), a compression method for still images, is also included.
• With a multi-channel function, a single device can process up to four video streams simultaneously.
• The ROI (Region Of Interest) feature enhances image quality in key areas, ensuring efficient bandwidth usage.
• Variable bit rates and variable frame rates help balance image quality and bandwidth according to video complexity and motion.
• For low-latency transmission, enabling the ‘Low Latency Encoding Function (P-Only)’ allows real-time processing.
• Backed by years of experience in providing hardware IPs for digital cameras, broadcasting equipment, and other fields, TMC has built a strong reputation, making its solutions a reliable choice for integration into your products.
