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 enables high-precision video processing, including YCbCr4:2:2 and 12-bit depth.
In addition, features such as ROI (Region of Interest), variable bitrate, and variable framerate control enable flexible compression management tailored to video content, achieving both high image quality and compression efficiency.
These features can optimize compression performance on their own, but they are especially well-suited for integration with AI engines. When combined with AI-based content analysis, they allow for even greater improvements in compression efficiency while maintaining high-resolution image quality.
Furthermore, TMC’s proprietary compression technology reduces memory bandwidth usage, and multi-channel support contributes to overall system efficiency.

These advantages make the product ideal not only for digital cameras and broadcasting equipment, but also for a wide range of video processing applications, including drones and surveillance cameras.

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.
