Multicore processor is optimised for H.264 codec
A breakthrough processor architecture for high-definition (HD) video encoding has been launched by Santa Clara-based Telairity Semiconductor.
Video processor is made for H.264 encoding
The first high-definition H.264 video encoder based on Telairity-1 is being presented by Telairity Semiconductor at IBC 2005 Stand 1.101.
The TM8000 board can be customised by OEMs using their own mezzanine or addon cards to enable audio encoding and transport stream outputs for specific applications.
Or, as an alternative for customers who need a complete out-of-the-box solution, Telairity offers the TM8000A mezzanine addon card with MPEG-4 AAC-LC audio encoding and transport stream-out functionality.
"By offering the TM8000 motherboard as a stand-alone product, Telairity is enabling OEMs to create encoders that are tailored to provide specific, differentiated features for their individual applications", said Howard Sachs, Telairity founder, President, and CEO.
"We are providing the fundamental video encoder hardware and software design, so each OEM can focus on its particular value-add while getting to market much more quickly".
The TM8000 motherboard accepts uncompressed 1080i and 720p (4:2:2) HD-SDI video inputs and encodes in compliance with the H.264 Main profile, Level 4 standard.
Users can select between constant-bitrate (CBR) and variable-bitrate (VBR) encoding options with bit rates ranging up to 20Mbit/s.
Compressed video and audio is output on an MPEG-2 transport stream via DVB ASI.
Based on the software-programmable Telairity-1 video architecture, the TM8000 is software-upgradeable to enable future quality, feature, and FRext standard enhancements.
