From digital televisions to portable electronics, the H.264/AVC next-generation video compression standard is becoming mainstream. And major processor makers–mainly Japan-based firms–are facilitating ...

This paper presents a motion compensation soft IP for H.264/AVC decoding based on the MoCHA architecture. The IP was designed in VHDL and validated by simulation and by prototyping on a Xilinx FPGA ...

Despite its promise of improved coding efficiency over existingstandards, H.264/AVC still presentsengineering challenges. It incorporates the most significant changes andalgorithmic discontinuities in ...

The hardware implementation of the emerging H.264/AVC video compression standard presents a number of difficult challenges when it comes to real-time encoding at HDTV rates. This paper describes an ...

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC/MPEG-4 AVC, one of the video compression standards MPEG-4, is a video compression codec that aims for 'high image quality even at low bit rates'. Since its introduction in 2003, H.264 ...

Codecs are used to compress video to reduce the bandwidth required to transport streams, or to reduce the storage space required to archive them. The price for this compression is increased ...

“Emerging” codecs like AV1, VP9, and HEVC are hardly newcomers to the streaming scene, and their implementation and breadth of industry support—particularly AV1’s—has grown by leaps and bounds. Yet ...
