All IPs > Multimedia > H.266
H.266 semiconductor IP represents a transformative advancement in multimedia technology, specifically in video compression. Also known as Versatile Video Coding (VVC), H.266 offers significant improvements over its predecessor, H.265, providing improved compression efficiency and superior video quality. This category of semiconductor IP is crucial for industries involved in video streaming, broadcasting, and any applications requiring high-quality video with minimal bandwidth usage.
The primary use of H.266 semiconductor IPs is to enable devices and systems to handle the latest video encoding and decoding tasks with remarkable efficiency. These IP solutions are particularly beneficial for deploying high-resolution video content, such as 4K and 8K video, with reduced file sizes without sacrificing visual fidelity. Such capabilities are essential for streaming platforms, video conferencing tools, and more advanced applications like virtual reality, where high-definition video is a necessity.
Within this category, you'll find a range of products including highly optimized encoder and decoder cores, providing flexible and scalable solutions tailored to different processing power and bandwidth requirements. Additionally, there are comprehensive software and hardware IP solutions that support integration into consumer electronics, professional video equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure.
By adopting H.266 semiconductor IPs, companies can ensure their devices remain at the cutting edge of multimedia technology, offering end-users an unparalleled viewing experience while optimizing network resources. This enables stakeholders to meet increasing consumer demand for high-quality video streaming and real-time communications, placing them at the forefront of the digital entertainment and communication markets.
The HDR Core is engineered to deliver enhanced dynamic range image processing by amalgamating multiple exposures to preserve image details in both bright and dim environments. It has the ability to support 120dB HDR through the integration of sensors like IMX585 and OV10640, among others. This core applies motion compensation alongside detection algorithms to mitigate ghosting effects in HDR imaging. It operates by effectively combining staggered based, dual conversion gain, and split pixel HDR sensor techniques to achieve realistic image outputs with preserved local contrast. The core adapts through frame-based HDR processing even when used with non-HDR sensors, demonstrating flexibility across various imaging conditions. Tone mapping is utilized within the HDR Core to adjust the high dynamic range image to fit the display capabilities of devices, ensuring color accuracy and local contrast are maintained without introducing noise, even in low light conditions. This makes the core highly valuable in applications where image quality and accuracy are paramount.
