POWERVR Video & Display

VXE Video Encoder IP Core Family


POWERVR™ VXE Video Encoder IP cores are multi-standard SD and HD video encoders. The cores encode video from raw image data, producing a compliant bit stream at the elementary stream or NAL unit level; generate stream headers; and perform algorithmic functions such as entropy encoding, scan, transform, motion estimation and compensation, and deblocking.

The cores have been tested with a wide range of raw image data to ensure high
compression ratios without reduced visual quality.

The cores are ideally suited to mobile phone, digital cameras, digital camcorders and
personal navigation devices for the recording of video clips, video conferencing and
video surveillance.
