Description
The JPEG-E megafunction Implements a high-performance image encoder that compiles with the baseline ISO/IEC 10918-1 JPEG standard.
One of the fastest available JPEG megafunctions, the JPEG-E megafunction provides a high-performance solution for a variety of image and video compression applications. It can, for example, encode over 30 frames per second for 4:3 HDTV, 1440 x 1152, and 4:2:0.
In addition to processing baseline JPEG streams, the JPEG-E megafunction can compress non-standard motion JPEG streams. It can also be enhanced with an optional add-on bit-rate control block, which may benefit applications that have tight bandwidth constraints.
The JPEG-E megafunction includes FIFO-like pixel and stream input/output interfaces. Other standard interfaces, such as AMBA, are available. The megafunction is designed for reliability and ease of integration, and has been proven in a number of ASIC and FPGA designs. The deliverables include a software bit-accurate model that facilitates system-on-chip verification.
