Overview

This JPEG-Encoder IP has been designed for easy integration into all kinds of FPGAs. It has been highly optimized for a very small footprint and an excellent Fmax, enabling the use of low cost FPGAs. This IP enables FPGA-based applications to outperform DSP-based solutions and to address the most challenging markets.The JPEG-Encoder IP can compress Still Images and Video Streams and it comes with Raster-to-Block conversion integrated.Several popular input formats are supported natively (BT656, YUV, RGB), thus simplifying the connection to various image sensors or video streaming sources (Video Codecs, Ethernet streams etc).Deliverables include a very sophisticated HDL simulation environment for seamless development, verification and integrationin the final application.

Features

  • Baseline JPEG-Encoder
  • Many input formats (including YCbCr, RGB, BT656 etc), Parallel Inputs, Avalon-ST, AXI4
  • Dynamically configurable quantization tables (up to 8 tables) for multiple levels of compression.
  • Dynamic choice of compression level
  • Streaming encoder : extra low latency !

Device Utilization and Performance

Encoder alone is ~3700 LEs or 1700 ALMs, 7 to 15 Memory blocks, 4 multipliers.Fmax > 170MHz on low-cost Cyclone® IV-CV.

Getting Started

Demos are available on many existing boards, including AVDB / Clovis !Demo available on low-cost Intel® Max® 10 DECA kit.Contact A.L.S.E
