Video Codec IP

The WAVE series supports various media formats with competitive PPA (power, performance, area). WAVE codecs support AV1, HEVC, AVC, VP9, AVS2, and other legacy codec standards with resolutions up to 4K@120fps and 8K@60fps in real-time.

The WAVE video codec IPs can be embedded in consumer electronic devices, including smartphones, multimedia players, digital TVs, set-top boxes, surveillance cameras, automotive infotainment, AR/VR, and more.

The WAVE6 series, our latest IP, offers higher encoding quality, higher resolution, lower power consumption, and lower latency. The WAVE6 series also suggests additional features, such as a down-scaler, color space conversion, and a 3rd-party interface, which are configurable to a customer's request.

 

Neural Processing Unit (NPU)

Chips&Media’s CMNP, the new NPU product, competes for high-performance neural processing-based IP for edge devices. CMNP is based on efficient hardware architecture that provides high-quality video processing in real-time (HD 1280 x 720, FHD 1920 x 1080, 4K 3840 x 2160). It also has a superior computing performance, which supports up to 4K60fps super-resolution in real-time. Moreover, CMNP can support either super-resolution or noise reduction and object detection in the near future.

 

Image Signal Processor

Image signal processor (ISP) provides packaged image signal processing with optimized gate size and memory usage. The complete ISP pipeline delivers a more precise and sharper image from the camera sensor's data input through pre-processing, image processing, and post-processing.
