Analysis: ARC's Configurable Video Subsystems

August 29, 2007 -- dspdesignline.com

Adding to its growing portfolio of licensable silicon IP subsystems, ARC has announced five configurable video processing subsystems. The subsystems range from the smallest-size AV 402V to the highest-performance AV 417V, and support multi-standard video encoding and decoding at resolutions ranging from CIF to D1. (The middle of the family range is filled out by the AV 404V, AV 406V, and AV 407V). The AV 40xV family subsystems are intended for compression-centric applications such as camera phones, portable media players, DVB-H and DVD players.
