H.265 Decoder
Design IP
Overview

SmartDV’s H.265 (HEVC – High Efficiency Video Coding) Decoder IP core delivers high-performance video decompression for next-generation visual applications, including broadcast, surveillance, automotive, and consumer electronics. It supports real-time decoding of ultra-high-definition (UHD) video streams, up to 4K and 8K resolutions, while significantly reducing bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising video quality.

The IP core supports Main, Main 10, and Main Still Picture profiles, ensuring broad compatibility with industry, standard H.265/HEVC content. Advanced features such as error concealment, low-latency processing, and support for various chroma formats (4:2:0, 4:2:2, 4:4:4) make it ideal for demanding multimedia applications.

Designed for flexibility, the IP core is highly configurable to meet specific design requirements, supporting both ASIC and FPGA implementations while optimizing for area, power, and performance.
