PathPartner offers universal and configurable HEVC Main profile Decoder solution on Zynq-7 series, Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale and Intel Arria-10. Evaluation versions are available on request. Performance is scalable from 1080p 30 fps 8 bit 420 decoding to 4k, 60 fps, 12-bit 422/444 decoding depending on the target platform and available resources. The decoder implementation will be well tested with standard compliant streams generated from popular encoders and is suitable for VR, video conferencing, real time video streaming and other low delay applications. Decoder is available as IP core in QuickPlay platform for evaluation and pay per use. Decoder has been tested on Xilinx Nimbix platforms.
