SENSIO® Hi-Fi 3D
BENEFITS OVERVIEW The SENSIO® 3D Encoder and the SENSIO® 3D Decoder form a unique set of technologies enabling a wide range of video products for state-of-the-art 3D production, delivery and viewing. Combining SENSIO® Hi-Fi 3D encoding and decoding provides maximum fidelity to the original image, exceeding industry expectations with regards to frame-compatible formats.
The advanced algorithms of SENSIO’s spatial baseband-processing technique work seamlessly with standard video CODECs (such as MPEG2, MPEG4, etc.). In addition, the 2:1 compression/decompression scheme provides the same quality results, regardless of the resolution used.
The SENSIO® 3D Encoder/Decoder IP core with its advanced IP architectureand well-structured code can be easily integrated into custom video-and-image-processing ICs. It can target several architectures, ranging from FPGAs to custom ASICs. As such, several compile-time options are available to modulate resource consumption and features depending on the customer’s intended applications.
HIGH-FIDELITY ENCODING/DECODING – BEST-IN-CLASS ALGORITHMS
• Edge-detection algorithms for superior quincunx decoding (sharp edges, crisp details)
• Resistant to compression for better quality than generic frame-compatible formats even at low bitrates
EFFICIENT PROCESSING
• Low memory requirement
• Low processing power needed
• Minimal latency (few lines of video)
• Easy connectivity
- Synchronous design
- Clock-driven
- With or without blanking data
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION – EASY TO IMPLEMENT
