• Availability of WebM (VP8) Video Hardware IP Designs

  10 janvier 2011, par noreply@blogger.com (John Luther)

  Hello from the frigid city of Oulu, in the far north of Finland. Our WebM hardware development team, formerly part of On2 Technologies, is now up-to-speed and working hard on a number of video efforts for WebM.
  

  • VP8 (the video codec used in WebM) hardware decoder IP is available from Google for semiconductor companies who want to support high-quality WebM playback in their chipsets.
  • The Oulu team will release the first VP8 video hardware encoder IP in the first quarter of 2011. We have the IP running in an FPGA environment, and rigorous testing is underway. Once all features have been tested and implemented, the encoder will be launched as well.

  WebM video hardware IPs are implemented and delivered as RTL (VHDL/Verilog) source code, which is a register-level hardware description language for creating digital circuit designs. The code is based on the Hantro brand video IP from On2, which has been successfully deployed by numerous chipset companies around the world. Our designs support VP8 up to 1080p resolution and can run 30 or 60fps, depending on the foundry process and hardware clock frequency.

  The WebM/VP8 hardware decoder implementation has already been licensed to over twenty partners and is proven in silicon. We expect the first commercial chips to integrate our VP8 decoder IP to be available in the first quarter of 2011. For example, Chinese semiconductor maker Rockchip last week demonstrated full WebM hardware playback on their new RK29xx series processor at CES in Las Vegas (video below).
  

  
  Note : To view the video in WebM format, ensure that you’ve enrolled in the YouTube HTML5 trial and are using a WebM-compatible browser. You can also view the video on YouTube.

  Hardware implementations of the VP8 encoder also bring exciting possibilities for WebM in portable devices. Not only can hardware-accelerated devices play high-quality WebM content, but hardware encoding also enables high-resolution, real-time video communications apps on the same devices. For example, when VP8 video encoding is fully off-loaded to a hardware accelerator, you can run 720p or even 1080p video conferencing at full framerate on a portable device with minimal battery use.

  The WebM hardware video IP team will be focusing on further developing the VP8 hardware designs while also helping our semiconductor partners to implement WebM video compression in their chipsets. If you have any questions, please visit our Hardware page.

  Happy New Year to the WebM community !

• Chips&Media delivers VP8 HD video hardware decoder IP

  7 décembre 2010, par noreply@blogger.com (John Luther)

  Silicon video IP maker Chips&Media has begun shipping its CODA960 multiformat HD video hardware core, which supports up to 1080p60 playback of VP8 video. VP8 is the video codec used in WebM.

  Chips&Media representatives went on the road recently to show the industry’s first FPGA demonstration of WebM 1080p hardware decoding. For more information, visit the Chips&Media web site.
