On2 Technologies Announces New High Definition Hardware Encoder IP

PR Newswire (US)
The Hantro(TM) 7280 enables real-time video encoding up to
1280x1024 resolution for low-power chipsets CLIFTON PARK, N.Y.,
Sept. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On2 Technologies (AMEX:ONT), the
leader in video compression solutions, announced today the
availability of the Hantro 7280 encoder Register Transfer Level
(RTL) design. Supporting MPEG-4, H.263 and H.264 video, along with
16MP JPEG, the encoder is targeted for chipsets intended for
devices with very low-power requirements such as: portable video
cameras, mobile phones, remote security cameras, laptops and
webcams. With a maximum resolution of 1280x1024 at 30 fps, the
Hantro 7280 introduces a new level of performance and
functionality. Following the Hantro 6280, which was licensed by
more than 15 leading chip manufacturers, the encoder brings further
speed improvements to achieve resolutions up to 1280x1024 at 30
fps. Easily encoding full 720p H.264 at 30 fps in only 180 MHz
clock frequency, the 7280 brings ultra-high performance to 65 nm
and 90 nm low-power chipsets. Placing a CPU load of less than 1MHz,
the Hantro 7280 allows even an entry level ARM9-based chipset to
encode real-time HD H.264 video with plenty of headroom to spare.
The new encoder also incorporates proprietary image stabilization
technology which reduces the effects of camera shake prior to
encoding resulting in higher quality video with better compression.
Optimized for rapid integration with ARM, MIPS and other embedded
CPU and DSP cores, the Hantro 7280 marries high performance with
ultra low-power and efficient silicon utilization. Silicon area can
be further optimized for unique applications by selecting only the
formats and screen resolutions required with area reduced to as
small as 0.19 square millimeters per 139,000 gates. Additional area
savings can be gained in a full codec solution by sharing internal
memories with the Hantro 8190 multi-format decoder. "For portable
devices, battery-life is a critical success factor and
manufacturers seek to optimize in every aspect," says Eero
Kaikkonen, Chief Marketing Officer at On2. "The 7280 requires only
12 mW to encode VGA H.264 in real-time. Although in practice it is
not possible, theoretically an ARM 11 would require as much as
500mW to achieve the same performance." The Hantro 7280 is
available now for licensing from On2. The product comes complete
with RTL source code for VHDL or Verilog, an RTL test bench and
test data, ANSI C driver source code and complete technical
documentation. For further information please contact On2 at .
