SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated
Device Technology, Inc. (IDT) (NASDAQ: IDTI) today announced the
release of its latest live broadcast quality MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 IDT®
video encoder running on Xilinx® VU9P FPGAs, the ideal solution for
cloud video transcoding and OTT streaming.
The new codec solution, R11F, enables live transcoding of video
in the widely-deployed AVC codec format at IDT's proven broadcast
quality. The R11F leverages cloud economies and enables CAPEX and
OPEX savings by using Xilinx VU9P FPGAs coupled with Intel® Xeon®
processors. VU9P FPGA acceleration is available both in public
clouds as well as on PCIe cards pluggable into
commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) servers. By offering a
standard FFmpeg workflow API, IDT's R11F codec can be easily
integrated into existing video applications and architectures with
minimal adaptation.
IDT's efficient live video encoding architecture uses exhaustive
'no-shortcut' processing, normally associated only with ASIC
compression solutions. It also includes superior
software-programmable decision logic, traditionally associated only
with CPU solutions, to deliver a hybrid solution with premium
quality video as well as area and bandwidth efficient
scalability.
"Our years of experience designing widely-deployed
market-leading compression technology across various platforms such
as ASICs, CPUs, FPGAs, and GPUs enables us to offer the best of
each world when implementing our latest live compression algorithms
on Xilinx FPGAs tightly coupled with Intel Xeon processors. Hybrid
FPGA-CPU platforms supporting our architecture are offered by many
cloud providers and hardware manufacturers," said FC Jeng, senior
director of engineering for the video product line at IDT. "AVC is
the universal codec of choice despite several next-generation codec
initiatives, and will continue to dominate the video ecosystem for
years to come. Our new R11F AVC encoder enables customers of all
sizes to benefit from the latest AVC encoding technology supporting
FPGA hardware acceleration. The R11F delivers density and quality
to our customers, whether they are running just a few instances on
a public cloud or building their own large data center for
thousands of concurrent video sessions."
To support easy evaluations and development by customers, the
R11F AVC encoder is available for evaluations on Amazon Web
Services (AWS) EC2 public cloud, as well as on-premises servers.
