H.264 HD Encoder Hardware | Transcoder | Matiz-Advance

High-quality, full HD H.264 Encoder/Transcoder IC

Matiz-Advance is a single-chip encoder/transcoder created for professional use.  The product performs real-time transcoding of high-quality video.  Because Matiz-Advance is compatible with CBR and VBR, as well as with optional capped VBR, it may be applied to a wide variety of video and audio equipment.  The chip includes an HDTV/SDTV downscaler and optionally supports flexible encoding control with its seamless bit rate change capability.

Matiz-Advance transcodes MPEG-2 images into the more efficient H.264/AVC format, effectively reducing video data by up to 50 percent, while retaining high video quality.  Applications include IPTV headend systems, video servers, and video editors.
