DM816x H.264 Encoder

Hi,

 

I am looking forward to use the DM816x for H.264 HD encoding.

However, when looking at http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/codecs/HDVICP2/index_FDS.html  it looks like the DM8168 only has H.264 decoders.

At the same time, I found that the DM365 has both H.264 encoders and decoders available http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/codecs/DM365/index_FDS.html

Could anyone clarify the situation ?

Also, what is the best way to have H.264 encoding facilities with low level features such as forced frame type (I-frames) 

 

Thanks,

Sandro

  • Hi Sandro,


    TI is providing the EZSDK release which has video encoders and decoders integrated. You can get from below link

    http://www.ti.com/tool/LINUXEZSDK-DAVINCI

    The current EZSDK release supports below codecs

    • HDVICP2 accelerated codecs: H.264 Encode/Decode, MPEG2 Decode, AAC Decode, MP3 Decode (Additional codecs will be available in the future, including MPEG4)

    So you can use the SDK for faster development.

    Regarding your secind question: "Also, what is the best way to have H.264 encoding facilities with low level features such as forced frame type (I-frames)"

    Please refer the EZSDK documentation - it will have the details.

    Thanks,
    With Regards,

  • Hi,

    I believe EZSDK does not provide the same encoding control features as Codec Engine codecs do.

    If there any plan to release Codec Engine H.264 encoders ?

     

    Thanks
