VGX150 IP Core

The POWERVR™ VGX150 Vector Graphics IP Core is the first in a family of scalable vector graphics IP cores. The family is focussed on delivering highly efficient vector graphics acceleration for OpenVG, SVG and Flash content, as well as supporting composition standards like OpenWF.

The POWERVR VGX architecture aims to provide native acceleration of the OpenVG 1.1 API, offloading graphics processing from the CPU to deliver high-performance acceleration for Adobe Flash Lite™ players, SVG players and native OpenVG applications including graphical user interfaces, browsers and navigation.

VGX supports advanced compositing, as enabled through the OpenWF API, including efficient compositing of YUV planes from video accelerator IP cores (e.g. POWERVR VXD) and graphics planes from other graphics cores (e.g. POWERVR SGX, OpenGL ES and OpenVG).
