Video Compression Codec (ADI)

This article refers to the address: http://

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) continues to expand its AdvantivTM advanced television (TV) family of solutions, releasing the Video Compression Codec (CODEC), which enables home-connected wireless high-definition (HD) video programming Provides a rich visual experience for users of HD home entertainment systems without any image quality distortion. The CODEC is a compact, complete HD video compression and decompression solution that delivers realistic images for many consumer applications, such as the latest flat-panel TVs, advanced game consoles and next-generation DVD players. It requires the cumbersome cables in today's common hard-wired home entertainment systems.

The ADV216 video CODEC uses Analog Devices' WavescaleTM compression technology, which is based on the JPEG2000 video compression standard. JPEG2000 is commonly used in high-end professional image processing applications such as digital cinema, broadcast television products, satellite and medical image processing, and security systems. By applying Wavescale compression technology to consumer video applications, Analog Devices has developed a solution that supports high-definition wireless HD signal transmission while eliminating human error and impermissible errors based on MPEG video solutions. The ADV216 also features ADI's patented SURF® space efficient recursive filtering wavelet technology, which supports real-time compression and resolution scalability without the need for external memory. In addition to delivering clear, continuous HD programming to TV and HD TV companions, the ADV216 also supports low latency, improving the user's video gaming experience and supporting fast response wireless remote control.

The ADV216 has an application programming interface (API) that simplifies system design by allowing HDTV manufacturers to adjust the compressed data rate frame by frame to free them from the worst transmission condition design. The CODEC can also be adapted to changing transmission environments, such as changes in wireless data transmission rates due to interference or other factors, without dropping frames. The ADV216 also supports HDMITM (High-Definition Multimedia InterfaceTM) and wireless HD transmission applications.

The ADV216 Wavescale video compression CODEC is available in a 13 mm × 13 mm ball grid array (BGA) package and is priced at $17.35 per unit in 1,000-piece quantities.
