India based Ace Thought offers HD video codecs for ARM Cortex-A9 and A15

An Indian embedded software company Ace Thought Technologies has introduced its multi-threaded software video decoder suite for ARM Cortex-A series of application processors. The decoder suite supports video decoding of H.264 (AVC) Baseline, Main & High Profile, VC-1 Simple, Main & Advance Profile, MPEG-4 Simple & Advanced Simple Profile, H.263 and MPEG-2 video compression standards.

The threaded video decoder offers scalable performance by utilizing ARM NEON and MPCore multi-core processor technologies. The video decoder suite enables single, dual or quad core decoding algorithm based upon the number of cores in the application processor. AceThought's video decoder suite enables upto 30 frames per second (fps) playback of 720p high definition resolution on dual-core and 1080p full high definition resolution on quad-core ARM Cortex A series processors.

"The multi-threaded video decoding suite opens up exciting possibilities for our clients. They can offer high quality video solutions with HD resolution on Android based smart-phones and tablets and on iPhone & iPad, using AceThought's video decoder suite," said Munish Jindal, CEO at Ace Thought Technologies. "The scalable design of video decoder allows it to efficiently support single, dual and quad-core application processors in a single library, thereby, enabling high quality performance at low cost."

The video decoder suite is now available for licensing.
