Product Description

The AMD LogiCORE™ IP H.264/H.265 Video Decode Unit (VDU) core is a Hard IP in Versal™ AI Edge and Versal AI Core series. The VDU core has multiple instance decoder cores (upto four cores) and are implemented as Hard IP in Versal AI Edge and Versal AI Core series. Each instance of decoder core in VDU is capable of decompressing single or multiple H.264/H.265 compliance video streams simultaneously at resolutions of up to 3840×2160 pixels at 60 frames per second (4K UHD at 60 Hz). In a multiple stream scenario, it can decode H.265 only, H.264 only or both compliant streams simultaneously.

Key Features and Benefits

The features of each instance of the decoder core in AMD LogiCORE IP H.264/H.265 Video Decode Unit core are as follows:

Multi-standard decoding support, including:
- ISO MPEG-4 Part 10: Advanced Video Coding (AVC)/ITU H.264
- ISO MPEG-H Part 2: High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)/ITU H.265
- HEVC: Main, Main Intra, Main10, Main10 Intra, Main 4:2:2 10, Main 4:2:2 10 Intra up to Level 5.1 High Tier
