Scalable Ultra-High Throughput VESA DSC 1.2b Decoder

Alma Technologies S.A.

Select

The UHT-DSC-D core from Alma Technologies is an advanced decoder, compliant to the VESA Display Stream Compression (DSC) v1.2b standard. It supports decoding of 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 video streams with 8 to 16 bits per component color depth. The core is scalable and it is available for Altera FPGA and SoC based designs.

The UHT-DSC-D is designed using internal (on-chip) memory blocks only, with simple and fully controllable streaming input and output interfaces. It is a complete and autonomous decoder, not needing any host system CPU or GPU support for its operation. Being carefully designed and rigorously verified, the UHT-DSC-D is a reliable and easy-to-use and integrate IP core.

Key Features

  • Full compliance with the VESA DSC 1.2b specification
  • Backwards compatible with VESA DSC 1.1
  • RGB and YCbCr color space formats
  • 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 bits per color component dynamic range
  • Native support for 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 sampling formats
  • Up to 16 slices per line
  • Scalable architecture with configurable number of internal, parallel decoding slice-engines - 3 pixel/clock/engine for 4:4:4, 6 pixel/clock/engine for 4:2:2/4:2:0 sampling formats
  • Operation without external memory - Very low internal memory requirements (a few image lines)
  • Ultra-low latency performance (sub-line latency)
  • CPU/GPU-less, complete and standalone implementation
