The multi-standard encoder also provides a high-quality H.264 encoder that is compatible with various AVC (Advanced Video Codec) decoders currently on the market.
The PowerVR Series5 video encoder is ideal for flexible coding applications, offering multiple resolution and bit rate support at the highest quality and meeting market demands from 720p @ 30fps to 4K @ 60fps and higher. The first three IP cores in the new series include encoders optimized for high-efficiency mass markets, high-performance mainstream mobile markets, and ultra-high definition (UHD) content creation.
The HEVC/H.265 video compression technology is designed to provide video quality similar to the current AVC/H.264 encoding standard, but requires only about half the bit rate - this is the transmission of HD and UHD video over today's limited bandwidth connections. Content is crucial.
In terms of quality, the new Series5 encoder offers all the important advantages of HEVC, but the bit rate required is lower compared to H264. In addition, this architecture features advanced search algorithms that include a complete tool set implementation and optimized code rate control algorithms, enabling PowerVR solutions to achieve the same quality at 30% bit rate than other similar products. The new encoder supports 1080p @ 240fps high frame rate encoding for faster real-time transcoding, slow motion recording and multi-stream encoding. The flexibility of the new encoders delivers significant benefits for a wide range of specific applications:
· Save costs and burn and store more video content with less memory
· Reduce the frequency and power of upload bandwidth required to access the cloud video hosting service
· Provides the highest quality for professional consumer video and entry-level broadcast recordings
· Minimize the transmission bandwidth required to perform video conferencing/playback applications on mobile devices
· High-quality, low-latency video games can be displayed on the TV screen in real time from a mobile device or tablet
· Low latency characteristics required for critical safety applications such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Chris Longstaff, Director of Business Development at Imagination, said: "The rise of 4K video demand has driven the need for a full-featured H.265 encoder and low-power playback architecture to meet the required bit rate and power requirements. Imagination's new PowerVR video encoding The device meets these needs and will play a key role in a variety of next-generation devices that require ultra-clear video content."
Given that HEVC will be used in a variety of applications, Imagination provides the required encoder cores for different markets, all supporting Android, Linux and RTOS:
· PowerVR E5800: Professional consumer encoder designed for 4K @ 60fps with 10-bit precision enhanced color depth for video encoding in accordance with ITU-R rec BT.2020
· PowerVR E5505: High-performance encoder designed for 4K @ 30fps, suitable for tablets, mobile phones, home media gateways and surveillance cameras
· PowerVR E5300: Area and power optimized encoder designed for 1080p @ 60fps, ideal for wearables, camera-equipped IoT devices, entry-level mobile devices, and automotive applications such as ADAS
The Series5 encoder has unique features that enable lower latency, lower power consumption, and lower bandwidth encoding than other solutions. These features include an ultra-low latency mode that enables sub-frame delay, and direct input/output options that eliminate the need to access system memory at the camera pipeline input or before network transmission.
To help customers get products quickly and at lower risk and cost, Imagination provides advanced, complete software support for the new encoders, including full driver support for Linux and Android, as well as a variety of flexible rate control options. And RTOS support.
Complete PowerVR Multimedia IP Portfolio
Imagination's PowerVR Series5 encoder and decoder family is a key component of Imagination's comprehensive PowerVR multimedia IP portfolio. Other cores include the PowerVR Rogue GPU and the PowerVR Raptor image processor (camera ISP).
Each core in the PowerVR family can operate with any bus architecture, processor or other IP. Imagination has optimized all PowerVR multimedia cores to maximize system performance and energy consumption. Silicon crystal area and memory bandwidth are minimized. For example, tight coupling between the encoder and the camera ISP reduces memory traffic and enables a better bit rate configuration for a given bit rate to produce superior image quality. In addition, data path optimization between GPUs, video encoders, and camera ISPs provides a good foundation for next-generation applications such as IoT sensors, ADAS, security monitoring, and augmented reality based PowerVR-based high-performance video IP platforms.
