PACT announces the Smart Media XPP Package for Multi-Standard Video Codecs
- Integrates hardware and software IP for Multi-Standard Video Codecs
- Programmable platform for flexible Settop Boxes and Smart Cameras
PACT's SMeXPP-V1 turn-key solution package includes
- IP for a scalable processing array based on the XPP-II array with video enhancements that support up to High Definition (HD) resolutions
- Building blocks for integration into Systems-on-Chip (SoC)
- Optimized Software Video Codecs utilizing the XPP-II array as coprocessor
- Cycle accurate simulation models
- C-API for integration into SoC operating systems
“PACT's SMeXPP-V1 turn-key package provides customers all the required building blocks for Multi-Standard Video Codecs. The proven XPP-II technology in combination with optimized Codec software features the lowest power consumption and silicon area requirements of any potential solution, while minimizing design costs, risks and time to market. Customers can now start their hardware / software design with the SMeXPP release V1 and update software subsequently for additional Codec functionality. The main advantage for solution providers is a unique hardware platform for several standards while end-users benefit from high performance Settop Boxes or Smart Cameras that can be upgraded at any time by pure software updates"
