Support,
Can you address the following customer question regarding our H.264 encoder (non-proprietary implementation)?
We’re trying to come up with some numbers as to end-to-end latency. We’ve got a requirement to only have N amount of latency, where N is a number of milliseconds. Back when you folks demo’d the 8168EVM (I think it was sometime last November, before you were on the account) I had asked what latency (in frames) the H.264 encoder had. That is to say, once a frame from the camera is sent to the encoder, how long (in frames) does it take to come out the back end of the encoder. To the best of my recollection the answer given at that time was 2 frames. Is this still a correct assumption?
Also, is it possible to have the H.264 encoder just encode I-frames? If so then wouldn’t the latency be reduced to just one frame?
Thank you,
Tim
