Transcoder

Achieve seamless, high-quality bidirectional video conversion with SOC's Transcoder IP Core.

MPEG-2/H.264 Transcoder

The MPEG-2/H.264 Transcoder IP Core leverages SOC's low-latency MPEG-2 Encoder/Decoder and H.264 Encoder/Decoder IP Cores to deliver seamless, high-quality video conversion in both directions. It supports low-latency transcoding of MPEG-2 streams across all profiles to H.264 streams of all profiles and vice versa, ensuring efficient and comprehensive compatibility.
