Media  Solution
Introduction :
 

Socle Media Solution intends to provide high performance MPEG4 video compression/decompression engines as well as video input/output interfaces for a media processing SoC application.

There are 5 IPs included in Socle MPEG4 Solution: MPEG4 Encoder, MPEG4 Decoder, VIP (Video Input), VOP (Video Output) and I2S. The MPEG4 codec solution herein support MPEG4 Simple Profile L0-L3 and above. To achieve SoC and media application performance, these fully hardwired MPEG4 IPs could effectively reduce the CPU loading and achieve higher resolution at D1@ 30 frames/second. The 12S provides APB to I2S interface for offering a serial link of audio data transfer. They also adopt AHB master and slave interface for easily plugging into AMBA architecture SoC platform such as Socle Leopard Solution.
