Integrated Device Technology, Inc. announced the release of its latest live broadcast quality MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 IDT video encoder running on Xilinx VU9P FPGAs for cloud video transcoding and OTT streaming.
The new codec solution, R11F MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec, enables live transcoding of video in the widely-deployed AVC codec format at IDT’s proven broadcast quality. The R11F leverages cloud economies and enables CAPEX and OPEX savings by using Xilinx VU9P FPGAs coupled with Intel Xeon processors. VU9P FPGA acceleration is available both in public clouds as well as on PCIe cards pluggable into commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) servers. By offering a standard FFmpeg workflow API, IDT’s R11F codec can be easily integrated into existing video applications and architectures with minimal adaptation.
IDT’s efficient live video encoding architecture uses exhaustive ‘no-shortcut’ processing, normally associated only with ASIC compression solutions. It also includes superior software-programmable decision logic, traditionally associated only with CPU solutions, to deliver a hybrid solution with premium quality video as well as area and bandwidth efficient scalability.
To support easy evaluations and development by customers, the R11F AVC encoder is available for evaluations on Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 public cloud, as well as on-premises servers. Contact videosales@idt.com for a free and immediate evaluation.
