– 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) encoder software conforms fully with the H.264 standard from the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-T). The H.264 BP encoder offers 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.
Features
H.264 Baseline Profile (BP) up to Level 3
Two user-configurable rate control schemes: DCES_TM5 and PLR
Arbitrary resolutions up to SD (720×480), including standard image sizes such as SQCOF, QCIF, CIF, QVGA, VGA
User-definable setting for motion estimation controls the balance between encoder speed and quality
Quarter pel interpolation for motion estimation
User-configurable GOP length
Improves network performance by predicting missing data through the use of unrestricted motion search which references frames that may be partly outside the frame
De-blocking (two modes: on and off)
Selectable input formats between YUV planar and YUV 422 interleaved
Technical Support from Authorized Software Providers
Customized technical support from Authorized Software Providers – To ensure qualified support, TI has established a worldwide network of Authorized Software Providers (ASPs). They support TI-enabled IP and provide customized software and engineering services for digital media applications.
