HD/SD AVC/MPEG Video/Audio Encoder and Transcoder/Transcaler/Transrater
The BCM7043 is a real-time high definition H.264/AVC, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4SP encoder and transcoder that is designed for use in cable, satellite, IP and terrestrial set-top boxes, home media centers, personal digital video recorders and HD DVD, Blu-ray, and DVD player/recorders. The BCM7043 is able to perform real-time high definition H.264/AVC and MPEG-2 encoding from the BCM7043's HDMI input (HD and SD) or ITU-R BT.656 input (SD). Additionally, the BCM7043 is capable of transcoding up to four SD streams simultaneously and one stream at up to six times the real-time rate.
Uncompressed video input is delivered to the encoder via ITU-R BT.656, HDMI, or host bus interfaces. The BCM7043's video compression engine converts a sequence of uncompressed video pictures into H.264/AVC (ISO/IEC 14496-10), MPEG-2 (ISO/IEC 13818-2), or MPvbEG-4 Simple Profile compressed streams.
- BCM7043 multi-standard encoding support for H.264/AVC, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 SP
