NSCC Launches First AVS SD Decoder Optimized For The ARM Cortex-A8 Processor With NEON Technology
The ARM Cortex-A8 processor is the first applications processor based on the ARMv7 architecture with powerful NEON media processing extensions to accelerate media codecs with 128-bit SIMD capability. It is also ARM’s first superscalar processor capable of executing multiple instructions simultaneously and features Thumb®-2 technology, which maximizes code density and power efficiency while delivering performance of more than 2.0 DMIPS/MHz.
“The ARM Cortex-A8 processor with ARM NEON™ technology is becoming widely acknowledged as the leading computing platform for multimedia applications,” said Dr. Jun Tan, ARM China president. “The launch of this decoder solution on the Cortex-A8 processor is a milestone for the commercialization of the Chinese GB AVS standard. The decoder can be used in various applications such as home audio and video systems, handheld multimedia devices, and in-car media players. Optimizing this AVS decoder for ARM NEON technology found on the popular Cortex-A8 processor helps to enable the wider adoption of this Chinese standard. ”
Through close collaboration with ARM, the Cortex-A8 processor-based GB AVS SD decoder developed by NSCC is optimized for NEON technology at the algorithm-level and platform-level so as to decode AVS SD programs running at only 400MHz. The key features of this decoder include:
1. Full support to GB/T200090.2 JiZhunProfile at level4.0 standard;
2. SD decoding with resolution of up to 720x576 at 25fps;
3. Frame/field code stream;
4. YUV420 planar and yuv422 packet output format;
5. Deblocking loop filtering, 1/4 pel MV, multi-slice, and so forth.
As one of the initiators of the AVS standard, NSCC has launched a series of AVS products and solutions supporting SD and HD. The company, based in Beijing, China has since become a leader in the AVS industry with strong R&D capabilities.
