Renesas Announces H.265 Codec IP

Renesas announces the development of video codec IP supporting HEVC/H.265 encoding and decoding. The new hardware IP supports up to 4K2K resolution (4096 × 2160) at a frame rate of 30fps or 2-channel Full HD 1080p at 60fps (one 1060p60 channel, according to other source). Data processing has been optimized to reduce the latency from the point at which data input starts to the point when the corresponding output starts to as little as 3 ms.

Sales of the new IP are expected to start in November this year.
