– Production-ready, easy-to-use audio and video codecs for digital media processors based on DaVinci™ technology and OMAP applications processors. Bundles may include NDK, G.711, JPEG, MPEG-2, H.264 BP and MPEG-4 SP codecs. Click Request form for details.
TO EVALUATE – Evaluate digital media software at no charge for 60 days with a simple click-wrap license.
FOR PRODUCTION – For certain Production Bundles, the license fee can WAIVED with acceptance of click-wrap license. License is available for review on the Request form. After your order is placed, instructions for downloading will be sent. The License will be presented during software download on MyRegistered Software (TI’s software management portal).
Texas Instruments H.264 baseline profile (BP) and main profile (MP) decoder software conforms fully with the H.264 standard from the ITU-T. The H.264 BP and MP decoder offer flexible rate control which allows it to be tuned to support multiple applications, including video conferencing, video surveillance, broadcasting and numerous other end equipments. It features programmable codec parameters that can be optimized for speed or subjective video quality depending on the needs of the end product. The H.264 is highly optimized to a hard standard that supports numerous complex tools and allows for development time savings in terms of years instead of months.
