Limitations list

Guru 20755 points

Hello,

I am required to make a list of all codec limitations (encoder and decoder).It seems a bit hard to do task, becuase the datasheet lists the supported features, not the limitations. The "Frequently asked questions"  in user's guide put more attentions on limitations, but I'm still not sure that all limitations are listed there.

If you have any idea how I can accomplish this task successfully please comment.

Thanks,

Ran

  • Which Device are you erferring to? As you said the best way is to read Data sheet and then check if it doesn't satisfy any requirement.

    In decoder's it will be relatively easier as once it is said to be a profile/level compliant - it will satisfy all the requirements and explicit limitations will be highlighted in data sheet - example Flexible macroblock Ordering in H.264 not being supported.

    In encoder, since it is open then the limitations can be very use case/application specific and it will require you to take a approach of - first list down your preduct requirement spec and then untick if something is not supprted by encoder by reading the data sheet.

  • Hi Pramod,

    I am refereing to H.264,MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 , each encoder and decoder.

    In H.264 datasheet I didn't find it mention FMO being unsupported, only the support features list. Maybe you ment to search in user's guide ?

    Thanks,

  • Ran,

     

    Typically, you would find non-supported features in user guide.

    If you can let us know the device you are interested, we can check and update the documents, if needed/
