TIDEP0037 Reference Design

Texas Instruments

Using TMS320C6678 Processor to Implement Power Efficient Scalable H.265/HEVC Solution Ref Design

Description

HEVC is an efficient: but processing intensive video standard: that is said to double the data compression ratio compared to H.264 / MPEG-4 at the same level of video quality. This design shows how a power efficient: soft H.265 / HEVC solution: that scales across resolutions: frame rates & profiles: can be implemented in real time using one or more TMS320C6678 devices.  A specific use case of a single channel HEVC 720p30 real time encoder and single channel HEVC 1080p60 real time decoder is also included.  TI’s HEVC C66x HEVC encoder shows a bitrate saving: for the same visual quality: of greater than 40% compared with TI’s H.264 x encoder. TMS320C66x DSPs support both audio and video codecs.
