The RealVideo codec is fully compliant with RealVideo 9 and 10, so users can experience high-quality video from numerous sources in China. By using new technology that employs rigorous analysis to decompose and compress video content as well as more sophisticated image segmentation and motion analysis, it provides the same quality video at 80 percent lower bit rate than MPEG-2, 75 percent lower bit rate than HDTV, 45 percent lower bit rate than MPEG-4 (ASP), 30 percent lower bit rate than WMV 9, and 15 percent lower bit rate than H.264.
"RealVideo is an important video standard in China," stated Dr. Xu Dong, president and COO, PowerLayer Microsystems. "RealVideo on Tensilica's 388VDO enables our customers to add entertainment features to their TV products based on our PLM3000 chips for Connected TV or other products."
"We're seeing increasing demand among our mobile phone and consumer electronics customers, such as PowerLayer Microsystems, for RealVideo compatibility," stated Larry Przywara, Tensilica's director of mobile multimedia. "Because RealVideo can be used at much lower bit rates than other standards, it is a very efficient vehicle for video delivery on a wide range of devices spanning cell phones to IPTV."
Tensilica's 388VDO Video Engine is fully programmable and Tensilica provides full software support for RealVideo in addition to H.264 Main Profile decode, MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile decode, VC-1/WMV9 Main Profile decode, MPEG-2 Main Profile decode, and MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile encode.
