Constrained Baseline Profile (CBP)

Yes both encoder and decoder on DM8168 platform support Constrained Baseline Profile.

Hi Pavan,

Constrained Baseline Profile(CBP) does not appear in codec user's guide or datasheet (Only the following profiles). How then should it be used ?

Thanks,

Ran

IH264_BASELINE_PROFILE
IH264_MAIN_PROFILE
IH264_EXTENDED_PROFILE
IH264_HIGH_PROFILE
IH264_HIGH10_PROFILE
IH264_HIGH422_PROFILE

Pls use IH264_BASELINE_PROFILE

Pavan

Hi Pavan,

When using baseline profile for CBP, Will it also meet the H.264 standard for CBP ? Is there a table which list the allowed parameters for each profile/level ?

Thank you,

Ran

Yair,

Thanks for the answer.

To summarize:

1. H.264 codec support H.264 standard, with the limitation that are described in datasheet, user's guide and release notes.

2. When trying to work with parameters which are outside the standard tables, the behaviour is undefined: The codec might return error (or not), and the codec might continue encode/decode (or not). This exact behavior is unknown.

Thanks for the clarification,

Ran
                          

Hi Yair, Pavan,

One more thing on this subject, CBP is different than BP in terms of supported features. 

1. What does it mean then if we use BP instead, if this features need to be disabled, but they are not ?

2. Is it problematic id decoded stream in CBP is recieved in H.264 decoder Bp ?

Yair, Ran,

Yes, we support all features of Constrained Baseline Profile specified by H.264 standard.
