The videantis v-MP4120HDX is a unified video & vision platform integrating both 720p HD multi-standard video codecs and embedded vision acceleration on a single silicon footprint with minimum load on the host CPU. The integrated multi-standard stream processing unit supports high bitrate encoding and decoding. Multi-standard video decoding in 720p HD resolutions is supported for all relevant video standards like H.264/ AVC, MVC, WMV9/VC-1, and Google VP8 / WebM Project with upgradeability to future upcoming standards on the same device, e.g., H.265/HEVC. Multi-standard video encoding is supported with a wide range of customization options, e.g., for low latency or high dynamic range encoding applications.
