Achieving optimised DSP encoding for video applications. By Ajit Rao and Soyeb Nagori.
As digital video extends visual communication in applications, developers are creating new video systems or enhancing existing ones to include video. A design consideration developers face is the high degree of compression involved demands a high level of performance from the processor.
Video applications require performance to be optimised to meet system requirements that vary in transmission bandwidth, storage, image specifications and quality. Programmable digital signal processor (DSP) solutions offer high level real time performance required for compression and the flexibility to adapt encoding to specific applications.
The goal for video compression is to encode using few bits whilst maintaining visual quality. Well designed encoders that leverage the performance and flexibility of DSPs help optimise products to make advanced compression trade offs.
