Ocean Logic has developed an advanced H.264 Baseline Encoder that uses Compressed Frame Store (CFS) technology, offering significant innovations in video encoding. This encoder is particularly noted for its compatibility with existing H.264 decoders and its ability to compress reference frames by a ratio of 8 to 16:1. This compression efficiency effectively reduces the necessity for external DRAM and lessens power demands, a substantial benefit in integrated systems where space and energy are constrained.
The proprietary CFS technology is capable of embedding within the chip, enhancing the power and bandwidth advantages of the H.264 encoder. Its high compression capabilities make it particularly suitable for System on Chip (SoC) designs, enabling efficient H.264 encoding of 1080p video at 30 frames per second with both I and P frames, without relying on external memory resources. This self-contained system significantly enhances power efficiency and reliability, making it an optimal solution for devices requiring high-quality video processing without the added burden of separate DRAM chips.
Engineers and system designers benefit from the IP's robustness, facilitated by its broad patent protection across key global markets. The IP not only heralds advancements in efficiency but also presents opportunities for integrating superior video encoding capabilities into a variety of applications, from communication devices to distributed video systems.
