H.264 Video Encoder IP Core

Optimize your design with SOC’s scalable H.264 HD/4K/8K encoding solutions.

Supporting resolutions up to 1920×1080 at 120fps
ultra-low latency and low power consumption

HD H.264 Video Encoder IP Core

The H.264/AVC HD Video Encoder IP Core delivers real-time encoding of HD video and video/audio data. Supporting resolutions up to 1920×1080 at an impressive 120fps, it achieves ultra-low latency of just 0.25ms at 30fps and 0.125ms at 60fps.

 

Optimized for minimal FPGA resource usage, it boasts a compact footprint and ultra-low latency and power consumption, making it the perfect choice for power-sensitive electronics and high-performance processing systems.

Our encoders feature a dynamic API, allowing real-time adjustments of key parameters like bit rate and precision to fit your specific application needs.

Enhance your video encoding capabilities with an optional network stack, enabling direct IP network connectivity through a convenient Ethernet port. Effortlessly integrate and transmit high-quality video streams with streamlined network access for a more efficient and versatile encoding solution.
