The AL-H264D-4KI422-HW decoder is designed for high-resolution medical imaging, broadcast, enterprise, and industrial applications. It emphasizes minimal latency and high video quality, leveraging the H.264 High-422 profile at Level 5.1 for intra-coded frames. This advanced solution is particularly valuable for applications requiring rigorous color accuracy and sharpness, such as micro-surgery video processing and film production broadcasts.
Featuring support for 10-bit YUV 4:2:2 video, the decoder maintains significant detail without introducing banding artifacts, making it ideal for precise medical imaging needs. It implements a macroblock-line level pipelined architecture that offers latency as low as 0.3 milliseconds. This architecture, when paired with the Atria Logic AL-H264E-4KI422-HW encoder, achieves a remarkable glass-to-glass latency of approximately 0.6 milliseconds, ideal for live video applications.
The decoder is efficiently integrated into a Xilinx Zynq-7000 XC7Z045 SoC, utilizing just 38% of logic resources, and is equipped with GB Ethernet MAC for IP-based streaming capability. Such features make the decoder versatile for both FPGA or ASIC implementations, supporting various use cases from medical fields to industrial manufacturing environments with exceptional performance and scalability.
