A configurable hardware IP for any integrated circuit requiring video decoding

Hantro G1 multi-format hardware decoder brings an unprecedented level of format and resolution support to enable all kinds of video applications. It is also the first hardware decoder in the market to support full WebM (VP8) decoding, significantly extending the video playback time of Internet-connected and HTML5-enabled battery operated devices.

Intended for chips powering multimedia devices (mobile phones, portable media players, tablets/netbooks, DVD/Blu-ray players, STB, car infotainment, etc.), Hantro G1 is built on silicon-proven designs deployed in hundreds of millions of chips worldwide and thus, provides semiconductor manufacturers with a minimal risk solution for integrating high performance video capability into their chips.

Hantro G1 decoder design is exceptionally fast, requiring around 100MHz clock frequency to decode 1080p video at 30 fps, and can achieve 60fps decode for 1080p video in real life conditions. The core supports unlimited multi-format, multi-channel decoding, enabling simultaneous playback of up to ten SD streams. It uses unique pre-fetching and buffering mechanisms to enable smooth operation with low-end SDRAMs, realizing significant savings in power and overall chip design and manufacturing costs.

Hantro G1 is market’s lowest power video decoding solution consuming less than 30 mW for full HD video decoding, and just around 5 mW for SD video decoding.

Key Features: All algorithms in HW – minimal CPU load Minimal power consumption – functional level clock gating and synthesis time clock gating (>90% of registers under gating) Integrated image/post-processing block Extensive resolution, format and feature configurations HW sharing for multi-instance support Three buffering options for minimizing memory bandwidth High latency and non-sequential access delay resilience Feature fusing for manufacturing different chip variations

Hantro H1 Multi-format Video Encoder IP

A configurable hardware IP for any integrated circuit requiring video encoding

Hantro H1 multi-format hardware encoder brings an unbeatable performance for any video encoding application. It is also the first hardware encoder in the market to support full WebM (VP8) encoding enabling real-time HD video conferencing application (see more information on WebRTC at http://sites.google.com/site/webrtc/).

Intended for chips powering devices such as mobile phones, DSCs, tablets, STB, surveillance cameras, etc.), Hantro H1 is built on silicon-proven designs deployed in hundreds of millions of chips worldwide and thus, provides semiconductor manufacturers with a minimal risk solution for integrating high performance video capability into their chips.

Hantro H1 encoder design is exceptionally fast, requiring less than 200MHz clock frequency to encode 1080p video at 30 fps. This allows support for 3D encoding (H.264 MVC) for full HD resolution. Additionally, Hantro H1 supports offers many proprietary features such video stabilization, scene change detection, motion detection and region-of-interest coding to enhance different use cases.

Hantro G1 is market’s lowest power video encoding solution consuming less than 80 mW for full HD video encoding and less than 15 mW for SD video encoding.

Key Features: Ultra-low CPU load (less than 1 MHz on ARM) Scalable video resolution support up to 16 million pixels High performance up to 1080p @ 60 fps / dual 1080p 30 fps for 3D Minimal power consumption – functional level clock gating and synthesis time clock gating Extensive pre-processing functions – rotation, cropping, color conversion, scene change detection and video stabilization HW sharing for multi-instance support Supports quality enhancements by software updates Surveillance / streaming tool set        Motion detection        Region-of-interest coding        Segment MB map (VP8)        Intra Region/Slice/MB refresh        Two reference frames, previous and          Golden (VP8)

Format Support: H.264 Baseline, Main and High, levels 1-5.1 MVC Stereo High VP8 for WebM and WebP JPEG Baseline DCT (sequential) MJPEG
