H264 编码器 市场调查.docx

H.264编码器市场调研一、 市场现有产品1、 LSI LogicH.264 VLE4000 用于广播的编码器LSI逻辑推出的VLE4000，是全世界首个用于新兴H.264/MPEG-4 AVC标准的实时编码器。VLE4000实时H.264编码器适用于机架式PC，包含一个SDI输入卡和视频压缩卡。VLE4000以实时方式进行压缩，达到全full D1标准解析度30帧/秒。以MPEG-2传输码流压缩的视频在多点传送以太网上发出，然后通过我们的VLD4000 H.264实时解码器接收。VLE4000已可供货，适用于早期使用，试验及H.264评估。产品特性  ·    VLE4000包含一个实时H.264标准清晰度编码器·    H.264/MPEG-4 AVC编码，达到Main Profile Level 3·    卓越的解码质量和验证平台产品优势  ·    广播、网络码流、消费类电子和内容创造环境中专业级数字视频的理想选择·    压缩率是MPEG-2的两倍链接：2、 先锋先锋在“2005 International CES”上演示了采用H.264/MPEG-4 AVC方式的影像实时编码。该公司曾在2004年10月举行的“CEATEC 2004”上以1.5Mbit/秒的速度演示过720×480像素的SDTV影像的编码，HDTV影像的演示尚属首次。 将1920×1080像素、60帧/秒的HDTV影像输入设备，然后进行了实时编码。编码器支持的协议为Main Profile、级别为4.1。编码数据速度为可变，平均值为9Mbit/秒。 为实现这一编码速度，在一个机壳内嵌入了3枚支持SDTV编码的板卡。据说，在CEATEC上只使用了一枚这样的板卡。此次将画面按上下方向分为三个区域，每个区域的编码处理由一枚板卡负责。同时还对因分区而造成的连接部位的像素的连接性进行了处理。各区域的编码处理中分别使用了4个美国德州仪器公司生产的DSP，这样在编码处理中共计使用了12个DSP。另外，影像数据加载到MPEG-2 transport stream上传送、在另外的机顶盒中进行解码处理。3、 三菱电机便携H.264编码器 面向单频段电视三菱电机2005年2月15日在公司研发成果展示会上演示了H.264/MPEG-4 AVC（以下简称H.264）规格小型DSP编码设备。利用1个DSP即可实时地对基于日本定于2005年度末开播的移动微波数字电视（即单频段电视）规格的视频数据进行编码处理。H.264是一种以2Mbit/秒的数据编码速度，即可实现画质媲美于8Mbit/秒MPEG-2规格的高压缩率视频编码方式。单频段电视规格的处理上限为QVGA（320×240像素）格式、15帧/秒，而这次的编码器却“能够进行超过20帧/秒的处理”（三菱电机）。运行这种编码器的DSP工作频率为600MHz。处理延迟约为0.2秒。 开发出在DSP上运行的H.264编码器之后，就能根据输入信号的像素数、帧速度、拍摄对象或相机动作的大小，以及是转播还是监控等各种不同的条件，对参数进行调整。“尤其是监控用途，根据不同情况而使用的参数区别很大”（三菱电机）。 这次的编码器设备非常小，大概为B5尺寸。“假如是面向电视台的固定型设备，就没有必要设计得太小。而我们则希望它能用于采访现场的转播和监控业务”（三菱电机）。4、 Envivio Broadcast Series SD Encoders：（1）4Caster B3（Fourth Generation Real Time MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Encoder for Media Transport and IPTV Solutions）The 4Caster B3 is a fourth generation real time compression product and the newest encoder in the Envivio® Broadcast Series.
