H.265, known as HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) is a successor to H.264 or AVC, is the latest video codec standard. HEVC achieves up to 2X bandwidth savings over previous generation H.264/MPEG-4 AVC based technologies. The HEVC standard supports UHD resolutions, including 4K and 8K, and format range extensions (RExt) for higher bit depths and up to 4:4:4 chroma sub sampling. HEVC codec is a must have technology for industries developing next-gen multimedia solutions across the Digital Media Creation, Distribution and Consumption chain.
AceThought has been at the forefront of development of products based on HEVC technology and our HEVC software Decoders IP are available on a range of Intel x86 and ARM Cortex Ax platforms. These codecs have been deployed in a number of customer products and services. Our HEVC software video decoders are designed for performance, multi-threading, conformance and variety across mobile and desktop processors and operating systems.
H.264 or AVC (Advanced Video Coding), also known as MPEG-4 Part 10 is a widely adopted video compression standard and is used for content delivery on web, mobile and set-top boxes.
AceThought has been a leading developer of products based on H.264 technology and our H.264 software Decoders IP is available on a range of Intel x86 and ARM Cortex Ax platforms. These codecs have been deployed in a number of customer products and services. Our H.264 software video decoders are designed for performance, multi-threading, conformance and variety across mobile and desktop processors and operating systems.
VP9 is the next generation video compression technology developed by Google. VP9 promises up to 2X compression over H.264 and VP8 video compression standards. VP9 is an open, royalty free standard and is widely used in popular video sharing website YouTube. VP9 competes with HEVC video compression standard, the emergence of online video consumption will make sure that both standards are likely to co-exist and contribute to enhanced user experience for video consumption and drive adoption of higher resolutions like 4K/UHD.
Google provides a decently optimized software implementation of the VP9 decoder (as a part of WebM), however this does not scale well to HD and 4K resolutions on resource and power constrained processor platforms used in mobile devices. AceThought has used its deep expertise in video compression and optimization to extract the best performance of VP9 decoder from embedded processor like ARM Cortex-A. AceThought VP9 software video decoder is available on a range of Intel x86 and ARM Cortex Ax platforms which is designed for performance, multi-threading, conformance and variety across mobile and desktop processors and operating systems.
SMPTE (Society for Motion Picture Television Engineers) VC-1 has been adopted as a mandatory video format for HD-DVD and Blue-ray.
AceThought VC-1 (WMV9) software Decoders IP is available on a range of Intel x86 and ARM Cortex Ax platforms. Our VC-1 software video decoders are designed for performance, multi-threading, conformance and variety across mobile and desktop processors and operating systems.
MPEG-4 is a widely adopted ISO/IEC video standard developed by Moving Pictures Expert Group (MPEG). MPEG-4 is used for compressing video for delivery on Web (streaming media), Mobile, IPTV and Digital TV. The H.263 video compression standard has been developed by ITU-T Video Coding Expert Group (VCEG). H.263 is widely used for video- conferencing at low bit-rates.
AceThought has developed extremely efficient products based on MPEG-4 and H.263 technology and our MPEG-4 Simple Profile (SP), Advance Simple Profile (ASP), H.263 P0, H.263 P3 and Sorenson Spark software video decoders IP is available on a range of Intel x86 and ARM Cortex Ax platforms. These codecs have been deployed in a number of customer products and services. Our MPEG-4 SP, MPEG-4 ASP and H.263 software video decoders are designed for performance, multi-threading, conformance and variety across mobile and desktop processors and operating systems.
AceThought MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 software video decoders IP is available on a range of Intel x86 and ARM Cortex Ax platforms. Our MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 software video decoders are designed for performance, multi-threading, conformance and variety across mobile and desktop processors and operating systems.
