Vanguard Software Solutions Announces Availability of FPGA Core Technology for H.264/MPEG-4 AVC/SVC at IBC2012

Vanguard Software Solutions (VSS), a leader in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC CODEC technology since 2004, announces immediate availability on an AVC-I encoder and decoder core for FPGA devices. An SVC codec core will be available in Q4. Customers can develop complete hardware solutions for video encoders and video codecs using highly parameterized VSS cores to provide scalability. VSS cores can be customized and optimized for the features needed to achieve the desired performance, core size, memory bandwidth and power consumption.

VSS FPGA Cores provide memory organization flexibility so that the number of memory units and memory channels can vary to meet the solution requirements, allowing implementations to efficiently share access to external memory units among multiple data masters, and supporting on-chip microprocessor control, customizable memory controller priorities, and scalable performance based on dynamic structure changes. In addition, C models for all the encoder and decoder cores are also available at the same time for rapid design and integration.

VSS is also developing a new HEVC FPGA core that will be available next year. The HEVC core will provide customers with access to real-time, HEVC functionality with FPGA flexibility.

“The VSS FPGA Cores bring together the ingredients to create customized FPGA digital video solutions for digital video communications and broadcasting,” said Irena Terterov, CEO and Founder of VSS. “With our new HEVC FPGA core components in development, designs with our FPGA core technology are ready for today’s implementations and tomorrows challenges.”
