H.264 Overview
H.264 CODEC FPGA Core - Micro Footprint

General Description
Our FPGA core is highly optimized and 80% SMALLER THAN THE COMPETITION! It is capable of being synthesized in Xilinx FPGAs and supports H.264 variable and fixed bit-rate encoding of video streams. Encodes video data at 3 clocks/pixel. Typical clock rate in an Xilinx SPARTAN 6 is 70Mhz. Typical clock rate in a Xilinx Virtex 6 is 140MHz. Multiple cores can be used for processing larger size or higher bandwidth images. Uses FPGA specific DDR 3 controller and microprocessor soft core. Built in Decoder that can decode A2e H.264 encoded streams.
In addition, the standard core can be customized, retaining ITAR compliance, to meet unique functional needs..
