MPEG-2 Main Profile Encoder/Decoder

Product Overview

MPEG-2 is a codec, established in 1995 as a compression format for video and is used in terrestrial digital broadcasting.

Since MPEG-2 is a standard codec implemented in all commercially available televisions sets, it is also widely used in in-house communal listening and voluntary broadcasting facilities.

TMC has developed and commercialized MPEG-2 as a very compact and high-speed compression IP, which is suitable for replacement of LSI.

Feaures

  • Optimizing the encoding algorithm realizes compactness and high speed.
  • The highest level of image quality achieved by incorporating the image quality improvement technology of the new codec.
  • Enables to implement in an inexpensive FPGA, making it possible to replace the MPEG-2 LSI.
