The RunX H.264 Video Encoder IP Core is a high-performance, low-latency video compression solution designed for both FPGA- and ASIC-based systems.
It supports real-time video encoding for mission-critical applications requiring deterministic latency, low power consumption, and hardware-level optimization.
The IP supports resolutions from 720p to 4K, achieving extremely low bitrates while maintaining excellent visual quality and ultra-low end-to-end latency.
Its architecture is fully RTL-based, synthesizable, and technology-agnostic, making it suitable for:
- FPGA deployment (All Altera families)
- ASIC prototyping
- Full custom ASIC tape-out projects
The design supports fixed-point processing, streaming pipelines, and configurable buffering.
Memory usage can be tailored to system constraints, supporting:
- Internal memory (FPGA BRAM / ASIC SRAM)
- External memory (DDR / SDRAM)
RunX also provides architectural support for FPGA-to-ASIC migratio...

- External memory (DDR / SDRAM)
RunX also provides architectural support for FPGA-to-ASIC migration, including RTL cleanup, clocking strategy alignment, and memory architecture optimization.
The IP is delivered without HDL source code. Instead, it is provided as a synthesizable, implementation-ready netlist (e.g. encrypted netlist / gate-level netlist, depending on target platform and agreement), ensuring strong IP protection while enabling seamless system integration.
In addition to the H.264 compression core, Ethernet-based video streaming support can be provided, including RTSP-compatible packetization and transport logic, enabling direct integration with IP networks for live video streaming.
