Few could argue that MPEG-2 has not been a workhorse of professional media compression. Created in 1988, it helped to power the commercial success of DVD disc players and is still used daily by U.S.

If you’re a digital-video professional–the sort of person who records weddings, sells stock footage, or edits B-roll–chances are good you deal with the H.264 video encoding technology. But after ...

Using 4:2:2 10-bit encoding has become the de facto standard for professional video because it is captured and transmitted over SDI, allowing the entire production chain to use at least a 10-bit ...

The signs are everywhere. Starting with IBC2004 in Amsterdam in early September, where Apple showed off an H.264 codec that yielded much better results than it did even at its impressive NAB debut, ...

Despite its promise of improved coding efficiency over existingstandards, H.264/AVC still presentsengineering challenges. It incorporates the most significant changes andalgorithmic discontinuities in ...

“Emerging” codecs like AV1, VP9, and HEVC are hardly newcomers to the streaming scene, and their implementation and breadth of industry support—particularly AV1’s—has grown by leaps and bounds. Yet ...

This paper presents a motion compensation soft IP for H.264/AVC decoding based on the MoCHA architecture. The IP was designed in VHDL and validated by simulation and by prototyping on a Xilinx FPGA ...

Grenoble, France -- May 6, 2008-- Allegro announces the immediate availability of its high-profile, high-definition H.264/MPEG-4 AVC hardware video encoding IP (RTL). Allegro’s H.264 IP core is a ...

Allegro DVT announces its dual-format encoder IP core, implementing the two mainstream video compression formats: HEVC/H.265 and AVC/H.264. With this new IP, Allegro DVT enlarges its video encoding IP ...

The results and an extensive analysis of the formal subjective verification tests of the H.265/HEVC video compression standard are published in the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video ...
