Allegro DVT unveils hardware HEVC/H.265 encoder IP

GRENOBLE, FRANCE: Allegro DVT announced its HEVC/H.265 encoder IP core, implementing the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard.

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), alias H.265, is the next generation video standard, which brings 50 percent bitrate savings compared to equivalent H.264/AVC encodings. HEVC is expected to be the mainstream video standard for the next decade, as it technically supersedes all other video formats.

The HEVC/H.265 encoder IP benefits from Allegro DVT successful track record in the field of hardware video IPs development. With this product, integrated video devices such as tablets, smartphones, and digital and wearable cameras, can immediately benefit from HEVC encoding capabilities.

This innovative HEVC/H.265 encoder IP allows our customers to take advantage of the new HEVC/H.265 standard. It provides real-time, high quality video encoding, with very low power consumption and reduced silicon area. This IP core is a platform-independent synthesizable RTL module. It benefits from a scalable multi-core architecture to support resolutions up to 4K.

The HEVC/H.265 encoder IP completes Allegro DVT's silicon IPs portfolio as it can be used in conjunction with our already available HEVC/H.265 decoder and H.264 encoder/decoder IPs, for a full multi-format codec solution.
