The H.264/AVC IP Core is a fully hardware-accelerated encoder and decoder implementing the ITU-T H.264 / ISO/IEC 14496-10 AVC standard. Optimized for real-time performance, it supports resolutions from QCIF to 4K UHD at frame rates up to 60fps, delivering significant compression gains over MPEG-2 without sacrificing visual quality.

The IP supports all major profiles (Baseline, Main, High, High 10) and levels up to 5.2, enabling broad interoperability across streaming platforms, broadcast systems, surveillance networks, and mobile devices. Fully FPGA-validated on Xilinx, Altera, and Microchip platforms, with ASIC-ready RTL available for any technology node from 180 nm to 5 nm.
