Overview

SOC provides a high-performance MPEG2 encoder IP core that supports all Intel FPGA families that have sufficient logic resources. Video transmission (UDP/IP + Ethernet) cores are available. SOC also supplies all-in-one MPEG2 encoder modules, which are System-on-Module (SoM) cards based on the SOC codec IP cores and Intel FPGAs

Features

Zero latency (0.25ms)
Small silicon footprint (30k - 60kALMs)
Low power (less than 1w, for HD resolutions)
High video quality
User Control API

Device Utilization and Performance

Logic=60kALMs; Block RAM=5Mbits; DSP=310DSPs. Performance: Standard=MPEG2; Profiles=High; Bit-Rates=1-500Mbps; Resolution=HD and 4k; Chroma=4:2:2/4:2:0; Precision=8bits; Audio=MPEG-2 Layer-II; Latency=0.25ms.

Getting Started

SOC supplies plug-and-play evaluation kits for the MPEG2 encoder IP core. The product code for the evaluation kit is: EC-MPEG2-HD-KIT (for HD) and EC-MPEG2-4k-KIT (for 4k)
