IMAGINATION TECHNOLOGIES' MULTI-STANDARD VIDEO CORE PASSES ALLEGRO H.264
TEST SUITE PowerVR MSVDX IP Shipping Now
London, UK, 18th December 2006: Imagination Technologies, a leader in
system-on-chip intellectual property (SoC IP), announces that its
PowerVR MSVDX multi standard high definition video decoder IP core has
passed the H.264 suite of test streams from Allegro, a leading provider
of H.264/MPEG-4 AVC solutions, including industry standard Compliance
Test Suites.
Allegro's test streams have a worldwide reputation in the video industry
for providing professional video conformance tests especially for H.264.
PowerVR MSVDX is the most complete multi-standard, multi-stream HD video
decode IP core available today, selected by several major chip
manufacturers for advanced HD video solutions in TV and mobile
multi-media SoCs.
The PowerVR MSVDX core is capable of decoding MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX,
H.264, WMV8/9 and VC-1 at true high definition resolutions and frame
rates.
PowerVR MSVDX passed Allegro's H.264 suite of test streams for both
syntax and stress tests by fully matching with the reference decoder.
The compliance of Imagination Technologies' PowerVR MSVDX decoder
against Allegro's H.264 syntax and stress steams proves that the PowerVR
MSVDX decoder is fully functional and reliable in terms of the H.264
standard specification.
The Allegro streams have proved the ability of the PowerVR MSVDX core to
decode H.264 video at High Profile@Level4.1, which is the conformance
point needed for applications such as the HD-DVD and Blu-ray standards.
PowerVR MSVDX has also been proven with Allegro's Baseline Profile and
Main Profile test streams.
Says Nick Kinson, business development manager (video products),
Imagination Technologies: "Imagination has a long history of providing
high quality video decoding cores to high volume consumer electronics
markets. Our advanced multi-standard video decoder technology provides
our customers with the confidence to create reliable H.264-based
multimedia system on chip solutions where die size, power consumption
and adherence to standards are critical to the success of their
products."
Says Pierre Marty, CEO of Allegro: "Imagination was one of the first
customers of our H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile Level4.1 test suites and
we are very pleased to have been chosen by a major IP provider like
Imagination. Imagination is the first IP provider to have a level4.1
decoder compliant with our streams."
PowerVR MSVDX has already shipped to lead licensing partners and is
available for wider licensing now. The IP was demonstrated running in
FPGA at Embedded Technology 2006 in Japan and will be shown at CES 2007
in Las Vegas. Initial silicon from Imagination Technologies' licensing
partners is expected shortly.
Inside PowerVR MSVDX
PowerVR MSVDX is a scalable multi-standard HD capable video decoder that
provides exceptional performance per clock and brings the
highest-quality image decoding with the widest range of video standards
to cost-sensitive, high volume consumer video devices.
With its extensive multi-standard codec support, and the ability to
decode multiple high-quality, high profile, simultaneous HD streams on a
single core, PowerVR MSVDX is ideal for use in HD-TV, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray,
IPTV, STB, PVR and PMP products.
PowerVR MSVDX supports all HD resolutions and may be configured to
support single or dual HD streams, up to four SD streams or a
combination of single HD and dual SD streams.
The decoder supports a wide range of decode standards including: H.264,
VC-1, WMV 8/9, DivX, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, and JPEG. PowerVR MSVDX's
stream decoder identifies the video standard on input and reconfigures
the highly flexible modules in the core accordingly. This solution has
huge benefits in reducing silicon area and power consumption while
providing image quality that significantly exceeds traditional
solutions. PowerVR MSVDX can be configured with any subset of supported
standards, enabling effective management of codec royalty costs.
Advanced error recovery is enhanced with dedicated hardware to increase
resilience to errors on reception of a corrupted bit-stream. An
extremely area-efficient micro-controller within the bit stream manager
enables high-level error recovery, while low level detectors quickly
trap error conditions.
PowerVR MSVDX is part of the PowerVR Visual IP family of cores which
provide 2D/3D graphics and advanced display pipeline processing as well
as video codecs. These can also be combined with Imagination's UCC
(Universal Communications Core) family of multi-standard broadcast
decoders and the META family of multi-threaded 32-bit DSP/RISC
processors to create complete Digital TV, Mobile TV and STB solutions.
