Overview

The MIPI H.265 IP Core, based on the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, is an advanced video compression solution optimized for ultra-high-definition (UHD) video applications.

Delivering up to 50% better compression than H.264 at the same visual quality, this IP core enables efficient streaming, transmission, and storage of 4K and 8K video content while reducing bandwidth and power requirements.

  • Fully Compliant with HEVC (ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2): Supports Main, Main 10 profiles up to Level 5.1
  • Ultra-High-Definition Support:
    • Resolution scaling from QVGA up to 8K @ 60fps
    • Ideal for 4K video conferencing, UHD streaming, AR/VR displays
  • Advanced Compression Techniques:
    • CTU-based coding (up to 64x64), improved motion estimation
    • SAO (Sample Adaptive Offset), deblocking filters, and advanced rate control
  • MIPI Native Integration:
    • Direct interface with MIPI CSI-2 (camera) and DSI-2 (display) pipelines
    • Compatible with D-PHY/C-PHY-based sensor and display modules
  • Configurable Bitrate & Latency:
    • Support for both Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate (VBR) modes
    • Ultra-low-latency encoding for live and interactive applications
  • Hardware-Efficient Design:
    • Small silicon area and low gate count for ASICs
    • Optimized FPGA implementations with scalable logic resource use
  • Flexible I/O Interface: AXI4-Stream, AXI4-Lite, FIFO, or AHB/APB compatible interfaces
  • Multi-Stream Capable: Supports multiple simultaneous video streams for recording and display
  • Power Optimization:
    • Dynamic clock gating, data gating, and power-down modes
    • Tailored for mobile and battery-powered systems
  • Superior Compression: Delivers the same video quality as H.264 at nearly half the bitrate, reducing storage and transmission cost.
  • Scalability: From low-power wearable applications to high-performance video servers and automotive ADAS.
  • Real-Time Performance: Enables live encoding/decoding for surveillance, broadcast, and mission-critical video feeds.
  • Future-Ready: Native support for 4K, 8K, and HDR-ready displays makes it ideal for next-gen multimedia platforms.
  • MIPI Ecosystem Friendly: Plug-and-play with CSI-2/DSI-2 devices reduce design time and effort.
  • 4K/8K Smartphones and Tablets
  • Automotive Driver Monitoring & Surround View Systems
  • AR/VR Headsets with High-Res Displays
  • UHD Surveillance and Security Systems
  • Live Streaming Devices and Drones
  • Medical Imaging and Telemedicine
  • Broadcast Equipment and OTT Boxes
  • FPGAs: Xilinx (Versal, Zynq UltraScale+), Intel (Agilex, Stratix 10), Lattice (CertusPro-NX), Microsemi (PolarFire)
  • ASICs: Synthesizable RTL for 7nm/5nm/3nm nodes, ideal for SoCs and automotive chips
  • MIPI PHY: Supports D-PHY v2.5+ and C-PHY v1.2+
