Allegro DVT Adds Support of 4:2:2 10-bit Video Profiles to its Multi-Format Encoder/Decoder Hardware IPs.

Grenoble, France -- November 04, 2015 -- Allegro DVT, the leading provider of video codec hardware IPs and certification bitstreams, announces the availability of new versions of its multi-format video encoder and decoder IPs with additional video profiles that cover 4:2:2 chroma sampling and 10 bits per sample.

Both IPs offer best-in-class video quality, are built around a true multi-format architecture which allows sharing of HW resources between different codecs and feature a scalable multi-core architecture which can be scaled up or down to match the resolution of the target application. Furthermore, the new IPs are now available with the following extra profiles:

• H.264/AVC High 4:2:2 Profile (Hi422P) up to 10 bits per sample
• H.265/HEVC Main 4:2:2 10 Profile

for any resolution ranging from HD up to 4K@60Hz 10-bit.

The extension of supported video profiles significantly enhances video quality and opens up a wide range of new use cases such as video compression for broadcast contribution links or video processing in automotive applications.
