Does HDVICP2 supports H.264 MVC, which is used for 3D streaming ?

Hi,

As per document  HDVICP document namely "H264_Encoder_HDVICP2_UserGuide.pdf", section 1.3 describes that it  "Supports Stero scopic SEI for 3D Video Coding".

Does it means that HDVICP supports H.264 Multi View coding (MVC)? If yes, then can anyone provide some examples on how to use it?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

  • The SEI  (i.e. Stereoscopic & packing) is one way to support 2 views/3D within existing H.264 specification framework.  This doesn't mean support for H.264/MVC (or Annex H) of video standard. MVC standard is gives more flexibility e.g. more than 2 views, information regarding view, temporal scalability etc. 

    There are many 3D content (e.g. YouTube3D) that works using SEI approach using existing H.264 specification.  You can decode such content using default H.264 release & use SEI information to figure out left vs right views & down-sampling etc.  For details on usage of this feature, refer to API User guide provided along with release.

    Althogh, if the content is MVC (even for two views), than you need to have support for MVC.  

    IVAHD1.0 i.e. HDVICP2.0 HW supports MVC fully and there is additional codec SW (MVC decoder & encoder) from TI to support such scenario.
