HEVC Decoder IP

​HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding) is the newest Standard for video coding/compression. HEVC is the next-generation video coding standard that provides superior video quality and upto twice the data compression as compared to the previous standard (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC). H.265 can deliver a picture of the same perceived visual quality as H.264 but using only half the transmitted volume of data and therefore half the bandwidth. HEVC can support 8K Ultra High Definition video, with a resolution up to 8192x4320 pixels. HEVC is well suited for various applications including such as IPTV, videoconferencing, digital storage media, television broadcasting, internet streaming and communications.

H.265 / HEVC  4K (UHD) Real-Time Software Decoder for Intel, ARM & Apple Platforms:

Intecore's HEVC Software Decoder IP is developed from scratch and as per the specification standard “Recommendation ITU-T H.265” for Video bit streams encoded with HEVC/H.265”. The Decoder is written in ANSI C, Assembly and fully exploits today's multi-core processor architectures. 

For Intel platforms, it extensively uses Intel SSEx & AVX2 SIMD Instructions and Multithreading Technologies to achieve its required functionality and performance goals. 

For ARM Platforms on Android, Apple iOS & Embedded Linux, it extensively uses ARM NEON SIMD Instructions across most of the key HEVC Kernels alongwith robust POSIX based Multithreading architecture to achieve its required functionality and performance goals.
